Will

Box office champ Will Smith is eyeballing Alfred Hitchcock’s Suspicion for possible remake. The affable actor has expressed interest in producing the film and taking on the lead role originally played by Cary Grant.

Suspicion centers on a young bride’s fears that the charming—but broke—man she married is plotting to kill her to collect on her life insurance. The 1941 mystery-thriller is based on Francis Iles’ 1932 novel Before the Fact, which had a much darker ending than Hitchcock’s film.

The last time Smith played a white man’s role in a movie was in Barry Sonnenfield’s disastrous 1999 remake of the Wild Wild West. He played the part of Robert Conrad’s James T. West.

Personally, I’d like to see Smith take on a black actor’s role. Maybe Wesley Snipes’ part in Passenger 57 or Wesley Snipes in Boiling Point. Wesley Snipes is very black.
