Jason Clarke Joins Will Smith Thriller 'Supermax'

The casting strengthens a rapid talent build for a Prime Video-bound Amazon MGM/Miramax thriller moving toward production.

Overview

  • Jason Clarke has closed a deal to join Supermax, though his character details have not been disclosed.
  • Clarke joins Jaafar Jackson and will share the screen with Will Smith and AnnaSophia Robb, who play two FBI agents investigating a seemingly impossible murder inside a maximum-security prison.
  • David Gordon Green is attached to direct a script by David Weil and David J. Rosen, with producers from The Picture Company and Westbrook listed among the team.
  • Amazon MGM Studios and Miramax plan a Prime Video worldwide release for the film, and Deadline reports that CAA Media Finance brokered the studio arrangement.
  • Reporting says production is being fast-tracked with a planned mid‑August start, a move that pairs high-profile casting with a streaming-first release to reach a global audience.
