According to The Hollywood Reporter, John Madden is in negotiations to direct Miramax’s upcoming thriller “The Debt,” a remake of the 2007 Israeli film “HaHov.”
Assaf Bernstein’s original film follows three Israeli intelligence agents who catch a Nazi war criminal during the 1960s but never grant him an official trail.
But more than 30 years later, when their target’s escape threatens to expose their old cover-up, one of the agents is forced to track him down and eliminate him once and for all.
Matthew Vaughn, director of “Layer Cake” and Marvel’s upcoming “Thor,” wrote the screenplay with Jane Goldman.
Madden most recently directed “Proof.” His credits also include “Shakespaere in Love,” and “Captain Corelli’s Mandolin.”
