‘The Accountant’ Director Gavin O’Connor may be director a new film for Warner Brothers. The film will be titled ‘Fast’ and follows a former special forces commando who’s recruited by the DEA.
The script was penned by “Sicario” scribe Taylor Sheridan, who had also been looking to direct, but when a deal couldn’t be reached, the studio began looking for other options and eventually landed on O’Connor. Chris Pratt had been circling the role, but with Sheridan no longer attached to direct, Pratt’s involvement is also unknown.
A production start date is unknown, as O’Connor is still in post-production on the sports drama “Torrance” starring Ben Affleck, but “Fast” is thought to be his next feature. He is only the executive producer on the Showtime series “City on a Hill,” which is wrapping up its first season of filming.
O’Connor has been on a roll since ‘The Accountant’ and now with the next Affleck film in production and ‘fast’ speedily on its way.
