After The Karate remake Sony have only got $$$ in their eyes for Jadan Smith, maybe it’s the fact mummy and daddy are Jaden Pinkett-Smith , Will Smith, there is also the small matter that father & son make Films together (M.Night Shyamalan’s After Earth a film the pair are making). Now the film studio are now looking get started on their potential cash cow who want to create a new franchise around him and according to Variety  Sony want to buy the rights to Allen Zadoff’s BOY NOBODY the first book of a proposed trilogy.The story centres around a teenage assassin  who starts to regain his emotions.

Author Allen Zadoff quotes -“young soldier trained not to feel; who could function in every situation without fear, sympathy or anger; who could assassinate strangers and then walk away emotionally unscathed.”

The ironic thing is Sony are already talking big things about the project even before the first book has been released (Spring 2013!). When it comes to Teen Assassins Hanna comes to mind however the story’s protagonist your mind leans towards the dreadful Taylor Lautner Abduction film but if this film is a go we all hope it will be more Bourne type franchise.The talk of Jaden Smith been a franchise star  or even action star has been very predictable one , since the young actor appeared in his dad’s film The Pursuit of Happyness it was on the cards that one day he’ll lead his own film and history show he has. Looking at this possible film a little closer it may not be Sony looking for a future Bourne but the recent success of The Hunger Games, Hanna films that have young assassins as lead and Sony wants in and using one of film’s famous families to get what they want might get them there wish.
