Warner Bros has inked a deal for the film rights to author Don Pendleton's prolific book series
about an elite anti-terrorist operative Mack Bolan says Deadline.
The
project will be developed as a starring vehicle for Bradley Cooper to play Bolan and his Hangover films director Todd Phillips to helm. "Avatar 4" screenwriter Shane Salerno is set to pen the adapted script. The goal is to make a "relevant, grounded and gritty, real-world PG-13
action-drama film series" with the plan for a trilogy already laid out.
The book series launched 45 years ago with Pendleton penning
thirty-eight volumes in just over a decade. Since then ghost writers
have taken over the run and the company still publishes a new title
monthly with around nine hundred books released and more than 200
million copies in circulation. There's even four series of spin-off
books in release.
Cooper Phillips and Salerno will produce the film,
