Sony Goes Biblical for Will Smith's Cain

Sony Pictures is moving forward with Will Smith's The Redemption of Cain, an epic interpretation of the Cain and Abel story.

The Wrap reports that the project has been green-lit and will begin production in July 2013. The film will shoot in London and Jordan, with exteriors shot in Morocco. The story, which was originally titled The Legend of Cain, has been described as a re-imagining of the Biblical sibling tale, but with a vampiric twist.

Smith was rumored to direct and star in the movie earlier this summer, but no word yet if this still the case. Smith's Overbrook Entertainment will produce.
