What’s this? Jerry Bruckheimer latest acquisition is a geopolitical thriller? What no treasure hunts or salty sea dogs? Has the time finally come for the bearded mogul to put away childish things?
Nah, probably not, but it’s still interesting to discover that Bruckheimer’s next project (after the talking guinea pig comedy G-Force and the video-game adaptation Prince Of Persia: Sands Of Time) is likely to be The Increment, a politically charged flick based on the upcoming novel by David Ignatius.
As befits the conspiratorial nature of the movie, there’s little in the way of plot details available yet but we do know that the title refers to an elite group of British undercover intelligence operatives who are conscripted by a CIA agent to help a weapons scientist defect from Iran.
So, as we said, the story may be a little more grown up but don’t go thinking that Don Simpson’s old sparring partner is putting away his big box of explosives just yet.
More details coming your way as we get them.
