Will Smith may next morph into a god.
“Braveheart” scribe Randall Wallace will write “The Last Pharaoh,” a Columbia drama crafted as a vehicle for Smith to play Taharqa, the pharaoh who battled Assyrian invaders in ancient Egypt.
Smith, James Lassiter and Ken Stovitz will produce for Overbrook Entertainment.
Smith, who has long wanted to play the pharaoh, brought Wallace the Taharqa story.
The film will focus on his battles with Assyrian leader Esarhaddon starting in 677 B.C.
