Back in May, we told you about a new project that Michael Bay is busy developing as a likely next directorial outing called Gideons Sword. Now the Heat Vision Blog offers word about a writer for the movie Changing Lanes Chap Taylor and some actual plot details.
Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child are the novelists behind the planned Gideons Crew series, which is ambitiously plotted as a 12-book set and is aiming to launch the first salvo this coming February.
The plot follows a young man who can convince people of almost anything and who is on a desperate mission to clear his fathers name after Pops is wrongly imprisoned by the NSA. Oh, and he has to save the world at the same time.
Taylor, meanwhile, seems glad that hell finally get a chance to work on something that might have a chance hit the screen. I'm looking for these projects that have the character-driven, juicy story line that I like to write but have a reasonable chance of moving forward, he tells the blog.
Bay is also looking to change things up, hoping that the Bourne-style thriller could let him pull off his usual pyrotechnics while also allowing gasp room for actual characters. Well believe it when we see it, but we do still remember the days of truly memorable Bay characters in films such as The Rock.
