PanARMENIAN.Net - Will Smith is a conman in trouble in a new "Focus" trailer released by Warner Bros. Pictures. The actor stars alongside Margot Robbie who portrays a novice conman in the drama. "Never drop with the con, die with the lie," he tells her at the beginning of the trailer, AceShowbiz said.

Smith teaches Robbie some tricks in the business and he breaks it off after getting too close for comfort. They, however, unexpectedly bump into each other three years later when he's in a mission. Scenes of them getting close to each other, dancing, partying and bickering are unveiled with a slow-tempo song playing in the background. "Because you're always lying Nicky, and now we're dead," she snaps.

"Focus" is written and directed by the pair behind "Crazy, Stupid, Love.", Glenn Ficarra and John Requa. Also starring Rodrigo Santoro, BD Wong and Adrian Martinez among others, it is set to hit U.S. theaters on February 27, 2015.

The actor who plays a struggling salesman in "The Pursuit of Happyness" and the star of "The Wolf of Wall Street" will next appear together in "Suicide Squad". Smith is cast as Deadshot while Robbie is set to play Joker's girlfriend Harley Quinn in the film featuring a group of DC Comics villains. Jared Leto, Tom Hardy, Jai Courtney and Cara Delevingne are included in the cast of the David Ayer-directed movie. It is targeting a August 5, 2016 release.
