Will Smith is slated to star in “Supermax,” an action thriller directed by “Halloween” filmmaker David Gordon Green.

Amazon MGM acquired the worldwide rights to the movie from Miramax for $70 million, according to Deadline, which broke the news of the deal. The studio won’t be putting “Supermax” in theaters and will instead drop the film directly on Prime Video on a yet-to-be-determined date.
