Will Smith Set to Get Robotic Costars

Will Smith has never been accused of being a mechanical actor, but that label may apply to his next role.

Variety reports that the "Men in Black" star, 34, is set to star in the futuristic sci-fi thriller "I, Robot," based on an Isaac Asimov short-story collection from the 1940s that is credited for setting the groundwork for such films as "The Terminator" and "A.I. Artificial Intelligence."

Shooting on "I, Robot" is set to begin in April, with Alex Proyas ("Dark City," "The Crow") directing.
