Koepping Mechanism

David Koepp is one busy Hollywood writer/director...

He has signed on to pen 2 projects for Sony Pictures- "The Billionaire's Vinegar" and "Shelley's Heart" reports Variety.

'Vinegar' is loosely based on the book about a scandal that erupted when an auctioned cache of wine purported to have been culled from the stocks of Thomas Jefferson that were deemed fakes by some.

Koepp will write the script with John Kamps and direct.

Will Smith will co-produce.

Koepp will then adapt the Charles McCarry novel "Shelley's Heart" into a political drama called "Article II" that he'll also direct for the studio.

The story follows two friends who become bitter rivals for the presidential election, which is won by computer fraud.
