Acclaimed filmmaker Gerard McMurray (The First Purge, Burning Sands, The Twilight Zone), will write and direct Michael B. Jordan’s high-octane action thriller The Silver Bear from Lionsgate, Nickel City Pictures and Jordan’s Outlier Society.
The Silver Bear is a film adaptation of Derek Haas’ best-seller about Columbus (Jordan), the most feared and respected hitman in the criminal underworld.
“Every step forward on The Silver Bear has been the perfect marriage of the material to the creative talent involved.
The series of novels was optioned by Nickel City Pictures, who hired Frank Baldwin to adapt the first book and attached Jordan to star and produce before bringing the package to Lionsgate.
