According to The Hollywood Reporter, Proyas is in negotiations to direct Gods of Egypt, Summit’s fantasy set in the land of the Pharaoh. The story sees a mortal, a god, and a goddess uniting to fight an evil force in ancient Egypt.

Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless, who have worked on the in-development Dracula: Year Zero and Flash Gordon, wrote the script. Basil Iwanyk (Clash of the Titans) is producing with his Thunder Road Productions along with Proyas’ Mystery Clock Cinema banner.
