New FOCUS Trailer Finds Will Smith and Margot Robbie Playing Con Artists

Warner Bros. has released a new Focus trailer for
Crazy, Stupid, Love. directors Glenn Ficarra and
John Requa’s upcoming caper. The film
revolves around a seasoned con man named
Nicky ( Will Smith ) who becomes romantically
involved with Jess, a novice con artist ( Margot
Robbie), only to subsequently break things off
when she gets too close for comfort. Three
years later, Jess—now an accomplished femme
fatale—pops back into Nicky’s life, throwing his
latest scheme into jeopardy. This trailer is much
lighter and more comedic than the previous one,
showing off more of the “caper” side of the film
than the intense drama. I imagine the pic’s
success will hinge on the chemistry between
Smith and Robbie, who are already poised to
reteam in WB’s DC Comics adaptation Suicide
Squad. Focus opens in theaters on
February 27, 2015.

Here’s the official synopsis for Focus :
Will Smith stars as Nicky, a seasoned master of
misdirection who becomes romantically involved
with novice con artist Jess (Margot Robbie). As
he’s teaching her the tricks of the trade, she gets
too close for comfort and he abruptly breaks it
off. Three years later, the former flame—now an
accomplished femme fatale—shows up in Buenos
Aires in the middle of the high stakes racecar
circuit. In the midst of Nicky’s latest, very
dangerous scheme, she throws his plans for a
loop…and the consummate con man off his
game .
