Jada Pinkett Smith has written her first screenplay and Mike Figgis is set to direct it reports Teletext.

The actress and musician wife of Will Smith says "I had a meeting with Mike in London on Tuesday. He said he loved the script, and I'm hopeful he'll direct it. That'd be wild, as I adored Leaving Las Vegas."

Pinkett Smith added: "I love to challenge myself. This was a big one."
