McG in Talks to Direct Cop Drama PUZZLE PALACE for Summit

by     Posted: October 25th, 2011 at 5:57 pm

Director McG is currently in negotiations to direct the cop drama Puzzle Palace. Deadline reports that Summit Entertainment acquired the project as a pitch earlier this year from David Guggenheim, who then penned the script. No other plot details are given other than the fact that the project is a “cop drama.” Wyck Godfrey and Marty Bowen, who were producers on the Twilight series, are onboard as producers. McG was in line to direct Ouija, based on the board game, as his next project but Universal ultimately passed on the film so it’s now back in development. The director recently wrapped the action comedy This Means War starring Chris Pine, Tom Hardy, and Reese Witherspoon.

Guggenheim recently penned the drama Safe House, which stars Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds and is slated for release in February. He also just sold a pitch for the superpower-centered pic 364 to Universal which Ron Howard is poised to direct.

  1. WHERE THE F— IS MCG’S REAL DIRECTOR’S CUT OF TERMINATOR!!!!!! On this website there was an interview with him talking about a version that is 30-40 minutes longer!!!! Whoever owns the rights needs to release that version. Character development is all that film really needed and that’s the FIST thing studios cut for more time slots at theatres.
