James Gray is closing a deal to direct I Am Pilgrim, a film adaptation of the spy thriller novel by Terry Hayes.
The I Am Pilgrim movie has been essentially stuck on the shelf since then.
Deadline is reporting that Gray is now set to direct I Am Pilgrim for MGM, drawing from an adapted script by Hayes.
Hayes has already penned multiple books in the I Am Pilgrim series, so MGM is hoping that Gray’s adaptation proves lucrative enough to justify moving forward with an entire Pilgrim movie franchise.
