Wyatt & Fassbender Circle Londongrad

"Rise of the Planet of the Apes" director Rupert Wyatt and "X-Men: First Class" actor Michael Fassbender may take on the true story thriller "Londongrad" says Deadline New York.



Based on author Alan Cowell "The Terminal Spy," the story revolves around former Soviet KGB officer Alexander Litvinenko who was poisoned by a lethal dose of polonium-210-induced acute radiation syndrome in 2006, blaming Russian secret service agents and Russian leader Vladimir Putin before his death.
