New Line Cinema is nearing a deal to acquire drama film "Collateral Beauty," which has Will Smith attached to play the lead.
'Me and Earl and the Dying Girl' director Alfonso Gomez-Rejon is directing the film.
The script centers on a New York advertising executive who experiences a personal tragedy.
His colleagues find a way to get him out of depression but not in a way they imagined.
New Line started negotiating the deal before Labor Day weekend and will likely close this week.
