According to Deadline, Michael Mann is in talks to direct The Big Stone Grid, a cop thriller that Sony Pictures bought as a spec script last year by S. Craig Zahler.
Michael De Luca, who’s on the Oscar circuit for Moneyball, is producing this one. The script is a hard-edged thriller in the vein of Seven and Marathon Man about two decorated detectives who uncover a terrifying extortion ring that operates within the secret underbelly of New York City.
The plan is for Mann to do a pass with the scribe, but don’t be surprised if he relocates the action to L.A., where he made such crime sagas as Heat and Collateral.
