He’s attached to make the adaptation of Frederik Forsyth’s The Kill List. “Day Of The Jackal, Odessa File and The Dogs Of War are three of the finest works of modern espionage. It is an incredible privilege to work from Forsyth’s new novel,” Sanders said in a statement picked up by Deadline. “It is a thrilling read and frighteningly accurate. It immerses us in the shadowy worlds of terrorists, spies, private contractors, US and UK Special Forces.
