    Warner Bros gets Rupert Sanders to helm Napoleon

    MUMBAI: Warner Bros has signed Rupert Sanders to direct Napoleon, a Scarface-style look at the French leader that will be produced by Gianni Nunari. Jeremy Doner is the scribe and Niija Kuykendall will oversee for the studio.

     

    This comes a day after the studio tapped Joe Wright to direct Pan. Sanders made his feature directing debut on Universal’s Snow White And The Huntsman, which grossed near $400 million worldwide. He’s got 90 Church with that studio and producer Joe Roth, and he’s developing Juliet for Sony and New Regency, with Charles Roven producing, as well as the screen adaptation of the Frederick Forsyth thriller The Kill List for producers Steve Schwartz, Paula Mae Schwartz and Nick Wechsler.

    Breaking Bad writer to pen Cop-Mafia Clash ’90 Church’

    MUMBAI: Universal has set George Mastras to adapt the Dean Unkefer book ’90 Church: the true story of the narcotics squad from hell’ who has won an Emmy for Breaking Bad. Rupert Sanders will be helming the project. +

     

    Three people will be producing it: Joe Roth, Palak Patel and Deborah Giarratana. The name ’90 Church’ refers to the place of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics in New York, when it was formed to tackle the increasing organised crime and drug traffic in the 1960s and 1970s. FBI agents used cunning tactics to stop the increasing numbers. The reputation of ’90 Church’ grew with the body count as well.

     

    The book was a fiction story but was written by an agent himself who worked in the department. Mastras is repped by CAA and manager Dan Halsted.
