Stephen Gaghan (pictured) will write the script adaptation of Jon Stock's upcomming espionage novel "Dead Spy Running" says The Hollywood Reporter.
The story is the first in a trilogy and aims to reinvent the spy genre by telling the origin story of a newly trained spy using Robert Ludlum's grit and John le Carré's wit.
McG is attached to direct the first film--dispite a full plate-- which kicks off with the protagonist running the London Marathon, where a fellow racer is strapped with explosives. That leads to a globe-trotting adventure to clear the name of the man's father..
