Denzel Washington
Though adaptations of popular novels arrive by the day, the one that is stirring up the most buzz (this week) is Robert Ludlum's The Matarese Circle. Not that the book is the next Harry Potter, but it already has Denzel Washington attached to play its hero.
Denzel Washington Packaged With The Matarese Circle
The Matarese Circle revolves around two secret agents -- an American and a Russian -- who must work together to fight a mysterious group of killers known as the Matarese. The only catch is that the agents, Bradley Scofield and Vasili Taleniekov, have been nemeses for years, with each responsible for killing someone close to the other.
Washington is looking to play Scofield.
Those of you who, like me, adored the remake of 3:10 to Yuma, should be glad to know that its scribes, Michael Brandt and Derek Haas, are onboard to write the script.
While lots of studios have been presented with the project, no deals have been struck just yet.
Add to Heffee!
