A New Warden

Antoine Fuqua of “Training Day” and “Tears of the Sun fame is in negotiations to direct Prisoners says Risky Biz Blog.

Aaron Guzikowski's spec script centers on a small-town carpenter whose young daughter and best friend are kidnapped. After the cops fail to find them, the man turns vigilante and starts an investigation of his own.

Director Bryan Singer, leading men Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale had previously been attached to the project, but their involvement is now uncertain after the project was reconfigured for a lower $40 million budget--and all three have seemingly moved on to other films.

The film is being fast-tracked with shooting to kick off early next year.
