Deadline reports that legendary writer David Mamet is in talks to write the script for The Force, the upcoming feature adaptation of the just released novel from Don Winslow.
Should Mamet sign on, Logan and 3:10 to Yuma director James Mangold is set to helm the picture which hails from 20th Century Fox and Ridley Scott’s Scott Free.
Mamet’s career has ranged from plays to feature films and even into television with notable works including The Untouchables, Glengarry Glen Ross, The Postman Always Rings Twice, and The Unit.
He is “the King of Manhattan North,” a, highly decorated NYPD detective sergeant and the real leader of “Da Force.”
