According to The Hollywood Reporter, Hancock (The Alamo, The Rookie) will adapt and direct the revenge drama. The movie is to be based on the book by Adrian McKinty. It follows a street wise Irish immigrant who takes up work as an enforcer for the mob in the early nineties.
"This is a wonderfully written book focused on an Irish anti-hero who grew up amid the brutal civil wars of Belfast, and it's certain to add new depth to the action-film genre," producer Steve Golin said. "John Lee Hancock is a masterful writer and director. We are confident that he will give Adrian McKinty's novel the screen translation it deserves."
