        It seems like teenage killers are all the rage these days. After the success of The Hunger Games, not to mention the upcoming and long awaited Ender's Game adaptation drawing near, it's no surprise that other properties with similar stories and setting would be pushed into development. Sony is in early talks to grab the film rights to Allen Zadoff's upcoming novel "Boy Nobody," and who better to star in the (potential) series than Jaden 'The Franchise' Smith.
        Sony Pictures plans to develop Boy Nobody as a starring vehicle and potential franchise for Smith, who performed well (literally and at the box office) for the studio in their recent Karate Kid reboot as well as in The Pursuit of Happyness, with papa Will. In fact, the father and son duo are together again as they are currently filming After Earth for Sony and M. Night Shyamalan. As the sleaze bucket Ari Gold always said, you better book your next gig before the current one comes out, especially with Shyamalan's recent track record. And, as Variety reports, that is exactly what the young star has done with this planned trilogy about a teenaged assassin who, despite years of brainwashing, starts to regain his emotions.
        The article pretty accurately compares the book's main character as being 'reminiscent of a teenage Jason Bourne' since the author himself, in this release from Publisher's Weekly, describes his protagonist as a "young soldier trained not to feel; who could function in every situation without fear, sympathy or anger; who could assassinate strangers and then walk away emotionally unscathed." Sounds pretty interesting if not entirely original.
        The book won't be released until next spring but if you'd like to get a taste of Zadoff's style, his most recent effort, "My Life, the Theater, and Other Tragedies" is on bookshelves now (along with his previous novels, "Food, Girls And Other Things I Can't Have" and "Hungry"). Look for Jaden to return to the big screen in Shyamalan's After Earth on June 7, 2013.
        沪江娱乐快讯：有老爸威尔·史密斯保驾护航，贾登·史密斯的星途自然也多了一份保障。近日，索尼有意为这位年仅13岁的童星打造一部名为《无名男孩》（Boy Nobody）的动作影片。如果成功的话，还有望拍成系列三部曲。
        影片改编自Allen Zadoff尚未出版的的同名小说（今春面市），主人公是一个被洗脑的少年士兵，在不断执行杀人任务的过程中，他逐渐找回了自己的感情和记忆。这听上去与《谍影重重》有几分相似之处。
        目前，贾登正在与父亲威尔·史密斯一起，拍摄M·奈特·沙马兰的科幻新片《重返地球》。影片讲述地球毁灭1000年以后，一对父子的飞船遭遇重创，这个自甘堕落和疯狂的年轻人尝试拯救自己，修复和父亲之间的关系的故事。
