Rick Famuyiwa, director of 2015 indie comedy Dope, is in negotiations with Sony Pictures to helm an adaptation of upcoming graphic novel Son of Shaolin.
It’s unclear what kind of tone that Son of Shaolin will have considering the graphic novel has not been released yet to the public.
As has been consistently the case with that project, however, the instability in the pre-production process forced Famuyiwa to leave over “creative differences.”
Still looking for his follow-up to Dope, it appears that the director has landed on another adaptation to climb aboard.
