According to Variety, Smith and Jon Mone will produce through Westbrook Studios with Ryan Shimazaki overseeing; Stuart Ford will produce for AGC Studios, which is fully financing the film; and Richard Abate will produce for 3 Arts Entertainment.

'Sugar Bandits' is Smith's most recent feature film. 'Emancipation', directed by Antoine Fuqua, was his last major feature and the first after his notorious Oscars slap. The film sold to Apple TV+ for a market record sum of $120 million at Cannes, but it didn't have a big enough impact on release. Along with the impending Zombie hit film 'I Am Legend', which co-stars Michael B Jordan and features Smith reprising his 2007 role, he also has the fourth, untitled 'Bad Boys' movie in production.
