"Michael Bay's Successor Decided: Will Smith selects new director"

John Swab, a renowned filmmaker specializing in mid-budget action and crime thrillers, has been chosen as the new director for the highly anticipated film Fast And Loose. The announcement was made following a disagreement between the film's original director, Michael Bay, and lead actor Will Smith over the balance of action and comedy in the movie.

Swab, hailing from Oklahoma, has made a name for himself with notable works such as Ida Red, Little Dixie, One Day As A Lion, and his latest crime thriller, King Ivory, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival.

The plot of Fast And Loose revolves around a man who wakes up in Tijuana with no memory, discovering connections to the CIA and a crime syndicate. The film also promises to feature the talents of Frank Grillo, who stars in several of Swab's films. It is possible that Grillo will be involved in Fast And Loose, although official confirmation is yet to be made.

Jerry Bruckheimer is joining as the producer partner for Fast And Loose. Bruckheimer, known for his work on blockbuster films such as the Pirates of the Caribbean series and Top Gun, is set to bring his production expertise to the project.

Swab's pitch for Fast And Loose impressed both Will Smith and Netflix studio executives, and shooting for the film was originally set to begin in October. However, due to Smith's busy schedule, Swab needs to stick to the October timeframe to ensure the project stays on track.

Swab recently signed with talent agency CAA, further solidifying his position in the film industry. The producers of Fast and Loose after Michael Bay's exit are Jerry Bruckheimer and Chad Oman, and the film is directed by John Swab. Will Smith is also involved in the production.

The departure of Michael Bay from the project marks a new chapter for Fast And Loose, and with John Swab at the helm, fans of action-packed thrillers are eagerly awaiting the film's release.
