Madden to Direct Nazi-Hunter Thriller The Debt

July 3, 2008

John Madden is in negotiations to direct the Nazi-hunter thriller The Debt for Miramax, says The Hollywood Reporter.

Matthew Vaughn (upcoming Thor) adapted the remake of the 2007 Israeli feature HaHov with writer Jane Goldman (Stardust). Vaughn, who will produce the project with Marv Films partner Kris Thykier, also is a partner with longtime collaborator Guy Ritchie in Ska Films (Snatch).

Assaf Bernstein's HaHov follows a trio of 1960s Israeli intelligence agents who pursue a Nazi war criminal only to have him escape. More than 30 years later, their target re-emerges, forcing one of the agents to track him down and preserve their decades-old cover-up. As with the original, the remake is expected to feature two actresses playing the female protagonist in the '60s and '90s.

Killshot has been delayed years literally....Joseph Gordon Levitt is another one in that.

really? Is he going to narrate also? I can see it now. They could just re-use quotes from the games, edit them together and play them over and over and over. "Whoooaaa now that was a close one. " as they realize the bomb in the suitcase isn't going to work. Actually that could be pretty funny.

I hope that Madden doesn't stop doing play by play on NFL games.

that would suck.

but I'll go watch this movie cause I have bought every Madden game ever and this will be good because of that!

I already want to see this, and simply for the fact that it's from the makers of Stardust, which I consider to be one of the best films of all time. This also sounds like an interesting concept, so here's to hoping it will be a good movie!
