Jamie Moss and Stephen Gaghan wrote the adapted screenplay of British author Jon Stock's spy novel, the first in a trilogy and that is supposed to reinvent the spy genre by telling the origin story of a newly trained agent--mixing the grittiness of Robert Ludlum with John le Carré's wry wit.
The story has the protagonist running the London Marathon, where a fellow racer is strapped with explosives. The aftermath leads to a globe-trotting adventure to clear the name of the man's father.
Gaghan was previously supposed to direct but has since moved on. Kevin McCormick and McG will
produce.
