Will Smith to star in American remake of The Man Who Sued God?

Let there be remakes! An American producer has reportedly purchased the rights to the 2001 Australian comedy The Man Who Sued God, with the intention of developing it as a vehicle for a major U.S. star.

According to The Australian, Will Smith could be that star. However, the identity of the buyer – thought to be Sam Feuer – is not yet confirmed, so take rumours of Smith’s involvement with a grain of salt.

Billy Connolly and Judy Davis starred in Mark Joffe‘s original God, which grossed a healthy $8.5 million at the box office back in the day.
