HBO's "True Detective" has been one of the most talked about shows of the last few months. (I personally can't wait to get my HBO app in couple weeks and watch this sucker.) The man behind the hot show also appears to be in heavy demand now too. Already developing Stephen King's IT for the big screen, director Casey Fukunaga has found his next project.
According to "Deadline" Fukunaga will direct the WWII action thriller Noble Assassin, based on an upcoming novel surrounding the true life events of Robert de la Rochefoucauld. Here's a rundown:
Pic tells the war-time story of French aristocrat-turned-anti-Nazi-saboteur Rochefoucauld, who joined the British Special Operations Executive and was trained in every manner of dark arts before being sent back to France to help organize the resistance, blowing up train stations and munitions factories. In the process, he was caught, endured months of torture and escaped his own execution.
I'm always a sucker for a good WWII film, especially one in Europe and this sounds awesome, so I'm totally onboard.
