Fresh off of an appearance in The Matrix Resurrections, Jada Pinkett Smith has landed her next acting role. According to a report from Deadline, Pickett Smith will star in Kristin Layne Tucker and Matthew A. Cherry’s upcoming drama, Redd Zone.
“Based on a true story, Redd Zone follows Tia Magee, a single mother who steps forward to help her sons and their high school football teammates, ‘The Bros,’ heal after the murder of their best friend, Dominic Redd,” the film’s description reads.
“One by one, The Bros start moving into her house, and soon 17 are living under her roof. Eventually, all The Bros go to college, with four making it to the NFL. The film is dedicated to Redd’s memory, and to the powerful impact he had on his community.”
Beyond her work on the screen, 2022 is shaping up to be a great year for Pinkett Smith. She is currently listed as a producer for Uptown Saturday Night and Straight Talk. She has also signed an overall deal with iHeartMedia to launch the Red Table Talk Audio Network.
