Biblical epics seem to be all the rage nowadays. Darren Aronofsky has his Noah film, and both Steven Spielberg and Ridley Scott are planning Moses retellings. The latest person to jump on this bandwagon is Will Smith, who reportedly is eyeing a Cain and Abel film to direct for Sony.

Deadline learned of the project earlier today, writing:

This has been in the arsenal for some time, and won’t be Smith’s next film, but it is an intriguing development for the actor and producer. The project has gone under the working title of The Redemption Of Cain, but I’ve confirmed that it’s now being developed as directing vehicle for Smith, who’ll likely star in the film as well.

From the sound of it this project is in the early stages of development, but it will be an interesting one to keep track of. Are you interested in a Cain and Abel retelling? What do you think of Will Smith directing? Let us know in the comments!
