*Will Smith has his sights set on the lead role in "The Last Pharoah,"
a Columbia drama to be penned by "Braveheart" writer Randall Wallace and
produced by Smith's Overbrook Entertainment.
According to Variety, Smith will star as Taharqa, the pharaoh who
battled Assyrian invaders in ancient Egypt. The story will focus on his
battles with Assyrian leader Esarhaddon starting in 677 B.C.
Next up for Smith is Columbia's "Seven Pounds," a reteam with
"Pursuit of Happyness" director Gabriele Muccino that Overbrook produced
with Escape Artists.
