Los Angeles: Veteran director Ridley Scott is in negotiations to helm the film adaptation of the graphic novel "Queen and Country".
The
novel, written by Greg Rucka, follows the adventures of Tara Chace, a
top agent in the British Secret Intelligence Service, who is used as
bait to draw out a terrorist in the wake of a terrorist attack in
London.
If finalised, the "Alien: Covenant" helmer will also
produce the project along with Chernin Entertainment in addition to
directing, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Earlier, actor
Ellen Page was attached to star in the film adaptation in 2013, with
Craig Viveiros directing, but the project failed to take off.
