F. Gary Gray, who was once considered to direct ‘G.I. Joe 2,’ has been set to direct ‘The Last Days of American Crime,’ the Sam Worthington-starrer that has a script by Karl Gajdusek.
Gajdusek is rewriting the William Monahan script Oblivion for Joseph Kosinski to direct for Universal Pictures as his next film after ‘Tron: Legacy,’ stated Deadline.com.
Both Oblivion and The Last Days of American Crime are titles from Barry Levine’s Radical Publishing.
In the futuristic tale, America responds to a second major terrorism attack by developing technology that eliminates the impulse to commit crimes of any kind. Worthington leads a heist team that plans to pull off a final job five days before the signal rubs out the criminal instinct.
Gray, who most recently helmed ‘Law Abiding Citizen,’ previously directed ‘The Italian Job,’ ‘The Negotiator,’ and ‘Set It Off.’
‘The Last Days of American Crime’ will shoot in September and will be sold in Cannes by IM Global.
