Relativity Media has acquired Hunter-Killer, a spec script that was written by producer Arne Schmidt. Pierre Morel (District B13) is negotiating to direct.

Relativity's Ryan Kavanaugh will produce with Original Films' Neal Moritz and Toby Jaffe.

The project is based on the novel "Firing Point," by Don Keith and George Wallace, about an American sub commander and a Navy SEAL team that must rescue the Russian president and defeat a renegade admiral who's attempting a coup.

I like the sound of this, I haven't seen either of the directors other movies but Ive read decent reviews for them.

February 17, 2011

Relativity Media has closed a deal with Phillip Noyce (Salt, The Bone Collector) to direct their upcoming Hunter Killer (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=49266), based on the novel "Firing Point" by George Wallace ("Final Bearing") Cdr. USN Ret. and Don Keith ("Final Bearing"). Production is targeted to start in late 2011.

Noyce, known for international action-thrillers such as Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger, will helm the film based on the script penned by Jamie Moss (X-Men: First Class, Escape From New York), John Kolvenbach (Coney Island) and Arne Schmidt (Chain Reaction).

Hunter Killer (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=49266) follows an untested submarine captain who must work with a Navy SEAL team to rescue the Russian president, who has been taken prisoner during a military coup, in an effort to stop a rogue Russian General from igniting World War III.

The film is being produced by Original Film's Neal Moritz (Battle: Los Angeles) and Toby Jaffe (Prom Night), and Relativity's Ryan Kavanaugh (Immortals). Relativity's President of Worldwide Production Tucker Tooley (The Fighter) will serve as Executive Producer.

Noyce is a client of UTA and was represented by them in the deal. The deal was first reported by Moviehole (http://www.moviehole.net/201136901-exclusive-salt-director-encounters-hunter-killer).

Antoine Fuqua Eyes Hunter Killer

Just one day after it was announced (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/tvnews.php?id=82581) that director Antoine Fuqua would be tackling a feature-length television documentary on Suge Knight, Variety reports that the talent is in discussions to take over Relativity's Hunter Killer (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=49266).

Originally developed for Phillip Noyce to direct, Hunter Killer (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=49266) adapts the unpublished novel "Firing Point" by Don Keith and George Wallace. It tells the story of a team of NAVY Seals in a submarine sent on a mission to Russia to stop an admiral from starting war with America.

Fuqua is best known for helming Training Day in 2001. He followed that with Tears of the Sun, King Arthur and, most recently, Brooklyn's Finest.

[dude love]

I approve. I hold Training Day, Tears of the Sun, Shooter and Brooklyn's Finest very highly.

[Ultra Lantern]

I'll see this movie when it comes out.

[Dr. Evil]

A movie about Russians? Can't have that without Peter Stomare.

[nite-owl]

Meh, Fuqua hasn't made a good movie since Training Day.

[dude love]

Aside from Tears of the Sun, Shooter and Brooklyn's Finest that is...

:oldrazz:

[Hunter Rider]

I approve. I hold Training Day, Tears of the Sun, Shooter and Brooklyn's Finest very highly.

I think he's underrated, I really liked Shooter in particular of his post Training Day efforts.

[nite-owl]

I thought Shooter was alright and I could't even finish Tears of the Sun.
