Script Supervisor

Quantum of Solace director Marc Forster is set to helm the long-gestating film adaptation of “The Chancellor Manuscript" reports Variety.



Based on the 1977 novel by author Robert Ludlum Books, the plot sees a clandestine group of intellectuals called Inver Brass who assassinate FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover when they learn he intends to hold scandal ridden private files over the heads of the thousand most influential people in the country.

Not all the dossiers are recovered however, so they enlist the unwitting help of best-selling political thriller author Peter Chancellor to investigate the existence of the remaining dossiers which are in the hands of a blackmailer.

Peter O'Brien is set to adapt the script. Leonardo DiCaprio is attached to star.
