Michael Bay has exited Netflix‘s action film Fast and Loose amid creative differences with star Will Smith, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.

Fast and Loose focuses on a crime boss who loses his memory after an attack and gradually learns that he was leading a double life as a CIA agent. Jon Hoeber, Erich Hoeber, Chris Bremner and Eric Pearson worked on the screenplay. Jon and Erich Hoeber wrote the original script after selling their pitch to Netflix.

The streamer is looking to begin production in 2026 and will be focused on attaching a filmmaker in the meantime. THR reported in October that Bay was set to helm the project.
