Warner Bros. Pictures has acquired Samson, a pitch for a futuristic retelling of the Samson and Delilah story, reports Variety.
Scott Silver (8 Mile) will write the script, and Francis Lawrence (I Am Legend) will direct. Erwin Stoff will produce through 3 Arts.
Samson gives a futuristic twist to the story of the biblical strongman who was invincible until he was betrayed by Delilah, to whom he entrusted the secret that his strength came from his long hair.
