Per sources that have spoken with Deadline, Paramount Pictures is looking to mount yet another adaptation of Simon Templar’s exploits, from the pages of author Leslie Charteris.
This new version of The Saint, much like the 1996 Paramount film starring Val Kilmer, is another contemporary reinvention of Templar’s adventures in gentleman thievery.
Writer Kwame Kwei-Armah, as well as producers Lorenzo DiBonaventura and Brad Krevoy are the current team mentioned as working on The Saint, with late film producer Robert Evans also being credited.
