Filmmaker David Leitch, known for movies such as “Deadpool 2” and “Hobbs & Shaw”, will direct the project from a script by Jon Hoeber and Erich Hoeber, PTI reported from Los Angeles.
Quoting Deadline, the report stated Netflix recently won the worldwide rights to the action thriller after the project hit the market in February this year.
Smith, 52, will star in the movie as a man who wakes up in Tijuana, Mexico, with no memories.

Leitch and Kelly McCormick will produce for 87North along with STXfilms and Smith through his Westbrook Studios. Jon Mone, Ryan Shimazaki and James Lassiter will also serve as producers.
