Graham King from GK Films is financing and distributing the movie, and production is scheduled to start in February following a shift of elements after the departure of two of the crew.
Avatar's Sam Worthington left the movie along with the director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck over alleged creative differences. It is claimed Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban director Alfonso Cuaron, 47, may helm the flick.

More movie news, from the small screen...Grace Gummer, a daughter of Meryl Streep, has got a break in Hollywood. Gummer, 23, will play a 17-year-old daughter of a celebrity couple in Gigantic, a TV drama. The fictional coming-of-age series for TeenNick takes a major poke at the Hollywood machine and Los Angeles elite. Another daughter of fame, 19-year-old Gia Mantegna, whose father is actor Joe and who grew up in LA, will also star in the show.
"Our audience loves celebrity and pop culture, and Gigantic gives them a unique, relatable teen perspective on a world they rarely get to see," said Marjorie Cohn, a executive vice-president at Nickelodeon. Gummer appeared on the New York stage in November 2008 in a dark comedy called The Sexual Neuroses of Our Parents.
