CBS Films previously planned on beginning the potential Mitch Rapp franchise with Consent to Kill, but decided Assassin provided a better starting point. Nachmanoff himself wrote The Day After Tomorrow and the upcoming Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner The Last Stand. Thereâs no word on whoâll theyâll bring in to do a rewrite. Deadline reports that Zwick and Marshall Herskovitz wrote the most recent draft of Assassin, but Herskovitz exited when Zwick did. Edward Zwick was initially tapped to direct the film, but he dropped out when the schedule conflicted with his next directorial effort, The Great Wall.Nachmanoff previously directed the 2008 thriller Traitor starring Don Chedele, and recently helmed two episodes of Showtimeâs fantastic series Homeland. Assassin serves as a prequel to the series and tells the story of how, as a college scholar and athlete, tragedy forged Rappâs path to become a ruthless hunter of terrorists for the CIA. The book is actually the 11th in Flynnâs series that centers on CIA Agent Mitch Rapp. CBS Films has tapped Jeffrey Nachmanoff to direct an adaptation of Vince Flynnâs spy novel American Assassin.
