Mind Over Muscle

Summit Entertainment purchased a spec script by Miles Chapman called "The Tomb" as reported in Variety.

Jeff Wadlow (pictured) will be calling the shots from the big chair. His previous efforts include the recently released Never Back Down and 2005's Cry_Wolf

The Tomb centers on the world's foremost authority on structural security, who's forced to escape from the master prison that he designed while unraveling the mystery of who put him there and why.

Jason Keller is doing a script rewrite.

The studio plans to use 'Tomb' the launching pad to start franchise starter, with an action hero who uses brains, not brawn, to get out of trouble's way.

Hmm...Brains not brawn...Sounds a lot like the Ben Gates (Nicolas Cage) character in the National Treasure flicks.
