Justin Lin will cross Reacher with Bourne

Image Back in 2015, Warner Bros. acquired the rights to film the book cycle Orphan X * in the hope of creating a new franchise in collaboration with Bradley Cooper. However, the work on the project did not budge, and the major lost his rights, which caused a new round of struggle for them.

As the site Deadline managed to find out, the winner in this struggle was the Makeready studio, which plans to turn the Gregg Hurwitz series of thrillers into a television series. Brad Weston's "Bad Santa" company will partner with Perfect Storm Entertainment, founded by Justin Lin ("Star Trek: Infinity"). Hurwitz himself will adapt the original, and he is no stranger to screenwriting: in this capacity he worked on "The Book of Henry", directed by Colin Trevorrow.

Hurwitz's book series is often compared to the popular Jack Reacher and Jason Bourne franchises. The protagonist of the novels is Evan Smoke, who has been in a special program since the age of 12, the purpose of which is to train mercenaries for the state. However, Evan escapes and begins a new life, but he has yet to complete the final mission - to save the last participant of the program before the government destroys any evidence of its existence.

“Heroes who, like Jack Reacher or Jason Bourne, can carry an entire franchise on their shoulders are rare,- Brad Weston noted. -Our plan is this: each book in the series is one season of a TV show ".

While it is known that Justin Lin will executive produce the upcoming series, but it is possible that later the director of several Fast and Furious will decide to lead the shooting of the pilot episode, as in the case of the reboot of Private Detective Magnum.
