Jada Pinkette Smith to join Collateral?

“Jada Pinkett Smith is in talks to star in director Michael Mann’s Collateral, the DreamWorks Pictures/Paramount Pictures co-production. Dates are still being worked out for the actress to join the Tom Cruise starrer, which is scheduled to begin filming next month.

The Stuart Beattie-penned project stars Cruise as a contract killer who forces a taxicab driver (Jamie Foxx) to chauffeur him around on a series of hits. Pinkett Smith will star as the love interest of Foxx’s character (Annie) .

Val Kilmer also recently signed onto the project, playing a detective on Cruise’s heels. Irma Hall rounds out the cast as the mother of Foxx’s character.”
