Jeffrey Nachmanoff instruerer "American Assassin"

Projektets svingdør drejer og drejer.

Ed Zwick var egentligt tilknyttet filmatiseringen af Vince Flynns "American Assassin", men nu rapporterer The Hollywood Reporter, at Jeffrey Nachmanoff har erstattet ham.

Filmens historie beskrives som følgende:

"'American Assassin' tells the story of legendary CIA agent Mitch Rapp. Long before he began hunting terrorists, Rapp was a gifted college scholar/athlete. Then, tragedy struck and Rapp was recruited into the nation’s most elite covert operations program. After completing training designed to teach the kind of lethal skills necessary to target our most dangerous enemies, here and abroad, he is a man reborn with a mission of retribution.

Zwick stod i første omgang for at skrive manuskriptet sammen med Marshall Herskovitz (The Last Samurai), men forlod derefter projektet for at instruere "The Great Wall".

Lorenzo di Bonaventura (Transformers, RED) og Nick Wechsler (The Road, We Own The Night) er begge tilknyttet som producere.
