Add Tom Hiddleston To Ben Wheatley & Warner Bros Circling Frank Miller & Geoff Darrow’s ‘Hard Boiled’ 

Deadline hears that while all the deals have to be made on Hard Boiled, Warner Bros is looking for Ben Wheatley to develop the action film as a potential vehicle for The Avengers and The Night Manager star Tom Hiddleston. We should know soon how all this works out.

PREVIOUS EXCLUSIVE: Warner Bros is negotiating to acquire the Frank Millerand Geoff Darrow comic book Hard Boiled, with the studio poised to set Free Fire‘s Ben Wheatley to adapt and direct. The film will be a co-production between Solipsist Films and Hollywood Gang, produced by Stephen L’Heureux, Bernie Goldmann and Gianni Nunnari. Solipsist did Miller’s Sin City, and Hollywood Gang did Miller’s 300.

Miller’s got those credits and Darrow also is widely considered one of the great artists of his generation, and the third big brain on the Matrix films, which he helped the Wachowskis design. Hard Boiled debuted in 1990 and focuses on insurance investigator Carl Seltz, who learns that he’s really a homicidal cyborg tax collector codenamed Nixon. A fellow robot informs him that he’s the last hope for their race to escape their programmed slavery.

(adding a little fuel to the speculation, Laurie Rose RTed the story)

Ben Wheatley is done, Tom Hiddleston would rather have it slow cooked though…

Tom Hiddleston and his directors/photographers/mentors/interviewers, basically the people who help him look good out there on the screen.
