Will Smith And Ryan Phillippe Team Up

Actors Will Smith and Ryan Phillippe are teaming up to produce a new film.

"White Boy Shuffle," based on the book by Paul Beatty, will be directed by Kevin Sullivan, and tells the story of a young black kid whose Santa Monica, California beach life comes to a grinding halt when his mother moves the family to south-central Los Angeles.

Phillippe says, "We are proud to be working with Kevin. A project like this does not come along very often."

There is no cast for the film yet.
