Variety:
Dwayne Johnson is in early talks to star in Robert Ludlum’s “The Janson Directive” for Universal.
If a deal closes, Johnson will also produce with Universal currently out to writers to pen the script.
The book follows a former consular ops agent who, after leaving covert operations due to the high number of sanctioned serial killings, goes into business as private security consultant. Teamed with a sharpshooter, Janson only takes assignments that he believes will lead to helping those in need.
Sources say the studio views it as a Jason Bourne-esque franchise for Johnson and is high on it.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
I've never heard of this one. I guess they are looking for something new and exciting. New thriller dramas that haven't been done or have been but new names and all that.
When I first read the title I saw "Universal Eyes Dwayne Johnson for 'The Johnson Directive'"
