Clint Eastwood has signed up to direct the big screen adaptation of The 15:17 To Paris, a true-life tale about the three Americans who subdued an ISIS terrorist on a train from Amsterdam to Paris in 2015.
The 15:17 to Paris will reportedly start casting right away and is expected to begin production at Warner Bros. in the fall.
The screenplay for the book, also written by Jeffery E. Stern, is being adapted by first-time writer Dorothy Blyskal (a staff assistant on Sully).
He’s proven to be an exceptional filmmaker, winning four Oscars over the course of his storied career.
