With development now pushed back on Bond 23 seemingly to never--another literary spy may be ready to step in to fill in. Eric Bana is circling to play Nick Stone in "Echelon", a film adaptation of Andy McNab's espionage novel "Firewall" says Pajiba.
In the 3rd book, of a series of twelve starring the character, Stone is an ex-SAS officer turned freelance intelligence officer who works on risky deniable operations for cash.
Hired to kidnap a Russian mafia warlord and deliver him to St. Petersburg, he soon finds himself raiding a house in the cold wastes of Estonia where Russia has launched an online offensive to tap into the West's military secrets - secrets the Russians, the Americans, the Brits and rival mafia gangs all want to get their hands on.
McNab and John Connor penned the script.
Bonnie Timmerman and Ashok Amritraj will produce the film adaptation
No production has yet been set as producers have not found a director.
