Morel Will Shoot "Prone Gunman"

French filmmaker Pierre Morel ("Taken") is in negotiations to direct the action thriller "Prone Gunman" says Heat Vision.


Based on author Jean-Patrick Manchette's novel, the story centers on an international operative named Martin Terrier (Sean Penn) who is betrayed by the organization he works for. He then goes on the run in a relentless game of cat-and-mouse across Europe.

The author's work has been described as "existentialist and involving explorations of politics as well as the human condition."

Peter Travis is writing the adapted script

Joel Silver and Andrew Rona will produce the film.

Production hopes to kick off in the Spring.
