Actor Will Smith says the failure of his 2013 film "After Earth" affected him, but he's now under a bright spotlight with his new film "Focus".

"For me, this film really marks a transition in my life and emotionally and in my career," people.com quoted Smith as saying.

"After the failure of 'After Earth', a thing got broken in my mind. I was like, 'Oh, wow. I'm still alive. Oh, wow. Actually, I still am me, even though the movie didn't open number one. Wait. I can still get hired on another movie'," he added.
