Thrill Or Be Thrilled

James Bond scribes Neal Purvis and Robert Wade are writing an as yet untitled thriller, for producers Walter F. Parkes and Laurie McDonald, according to Risky Biz Blog.

The story takes place in West Africa and revolves around the Tuareg tribes, whose land is rich with uranium and has garnered interest by energy companies and terrorist organizations alike.

An American anthropologist gets stuck in the middle of this conflict when he is forced to travel to the area to help a research subject, who has been accused of a terrorist attack.

The premise is based upon an idea by Parkes and Michael Lieber.

Parkes says the tone is "an action movie set within a world that is morally complex, alluring and completely real."
