Oliver Stone moving on to 'McGee'
By Adnan Tezer Apr 1, 2010, 20:19 GMT
Oliver Stone has agreed to develop and possibly direct 20th Century Fox’s "Travis McGee," with Leonardo DiCaprio starring.
"McGee" is based on a fictional detective created by American author John D. MacDonald.
DiCaprio would play the detective, a self-described beach bum who lives on a houseboat in Florida.
The film would follow the plot from the first of MacDonald's 21 books, "The Deep Blue Goodbye," which has McGee searching for a World War II treasure.
According to Variety, the script was written by Dana Stevens.
Peter Chernin's Chernin Entertainment would produce with Amy Robinson along with DiCaprio and Jennifer Davisson Killoran through their Appian Way production company.
Stone's "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps,"which was also done for Fox, will make its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival. As a result, Fox decided to push back the release of the film from April 12 to Sept. 24.
