Will Smith and Columbia Pictures are teaming to bring to the screen the story of Dr. S. Allen Counter, a Harvard professor and professional explorer, says The Hollywood Reporter.
The studio has purchased a screenplay from screenwriter Sid Quashie centering on Counter for Smith and James Lassiter's Overbrook Entertainment to produce.
The project is described as an adventure romance based on Counter's explorations. It's not clear which expedition it will center on, but Counter has done research on indigenous people of the rain forest in Suriname as well as on Eskimo tribes in Greenland.
