It appears Ryan Reynolds is hoping to team up with director Jon Favreau for the high-speed drama Battle for Bonneville, which New Regency is currently in final negotiations to acquire.
Iron Man helmer Favreau is currently busy prepping a film based on the musical Jersey Boys (and he has Magic Kingdom on the back-burner), and the current plan is for Favreau to helm Bonneville once that film is complete.
Dan Gilroy (Real Steel, The Bourne Legacy) wrote the screenplay based on the true story of half-brothers Art Arfons and Walt Afrons. The duo used to be fierce rivals on the race track, before teaming up to break the land speed record three times, using a jet-powered race car.
Ryan Reynolds and Jon Favreau will also produce alongside Mark Ciardi, Gordon Gray, Jonathon Komack Martin, and Jennifer Fox. (Source: Deadline)
