It almost seems pointless reporting that Paul Greengrass is planning a movie, as he loves developing films, the vast majority of which he leaves behind for one reason or another (usually due to his vision and that of the studio diverging). However as things stand, THR reports that Greengrass is teaming up with George Clooney for a heist movie.
Argo writer Chris Terrio is on scripting duties. He’s worked with Clooney and Greengrass before, as at one point the duo picked up the rights to the article that turned into Argo and set Terrio to write it – but once more Greengrass moved on, as did Clooney. Apparently the movie has been in the works for quite a while, but it’s has to wait for everyone to be free to develop it before it’s moved forward.
Unfortunately there are no plot details at the moment, other than it’s a heist film.
Don’t expect it anytime soon though (and that’s even presuming Greegrass stays onboard), as the director is busy finishing of modern day pirate drama Captain Philips, and also has Barca up his sleeve, while Clooney is set to helm Monuments Men.
