Will Smith is attached to star in the Paramount Pictures action thriller "Bounty," Heat Vision reports.

Written by Sascha Penn ("Power"), the film centers on a man who escapes prison after he's wrongly convicted of murder. As he struggles to prove his innocence, the dead man's widow puts out a $10 million bounty on his head, making his task all the more difficult to complete.

Smith will produce the film alongside Adam Kolbrenner of Madhouse Entertainment and executive producer Robyn Meisinger.

Smith adds "Bounty" to a slew of other upcoming action films on his plate, including "Focus," "Suicide Squad: and "Concussion."
