The story is based on an idea by "Drive" writer Hossein Amini, and is being looked at as a vehicle for "Thor" star Chris Hemsworth and is inspired by an incident in which a group of Israeli operatives infiltrated a hotel in Dubai to kill a Hamas leader, only to see the rendezvous captured on surveillance cameras.
The film though will nix the political angle to some extent. Instead Hemsworth will play a former U.S. Navy SEAL trying to repair a rift with an old friend along with leading a team of elite international operatives on a mission against a mysterious enemy.
Tripp Vinson, Beau Flynn, Will Ward and possibly Simon Kinberg will be producing.
The pic is hoping to move forward quickly but will work around Hemsworth's "Thor 2" schedule just the same.
