Will Smith Will Star in & Produce Remake of 1959 Classic

Will Smith has reportedly signed on to not only star in but also produced under his film company Overbrook Entertainment, an adaptation of Daniel Keyes' classic 1959 novel "Flowers for Algernon." The story centers on a mentally disabled man who is the first to undergo a surgery that is said to raise intelligence. While the operation is successful, and his IQ raises from 68 to 185, the side effects include social setbacks where he feels ostracized from society.

Also happy Belated birthday to Will's son Trey! It was yesterday.
