The Hollywood Reporter has the scoop on filmmaker John Lee Hancock‘s ("The Rookie") next project. Based on the novel by Adrian McKinty, "Dead I Well May Be" tells the tale of "a street-savvy illegal immigrant from Ireland who lands a job as an Irish mob enforcer in New York in the early 1990s." The adaptation is now underway at Universal Pictures, and producer Steve Golin feels the final product will be "certain to add new depth to the action-film genre."
