Gavin O’Connor in Talks to Direct ‘Fast’ at Warner Bros. (EXCLUSIVE)

“The Accountant” director Gavin O’Connor is in negotiations to direct Warner Bros.’ action-thriller “Fast,” sources tell Variety.

The script was penned by “Sicario” scribe Taylor Sheridan, who had also been looking to direct, but when a deal couldn’t be reached, the studio began looking for other options and eventually landed on O’Connor. Chris Pratt had been circling the role, but with Sheridan no longer attached to direct, Pratt’s involvement is also unknown.

David Heyman and Jeff Clifford are producing the pic through Heyday Films. It follows a former special forces commando who’s recruited by the DEA to lead a black ops strike team targeting drug dealers who are protected by the CIA.

Warrior is great but The Accountant was pretty meh so O’Connor is hit and miss for me. But probably just depends on how good of a script he’s working with.
