Jeffrey Nachmanoff, the writer-director behind Traitor, has signed on to direct an adaptation of the Oni Press comic book Billy Smoke for Warner Bros.
Matthew Fox is attached to star in the thriller about an elite hit man who is nearly killed during a botched job. He realizes that his only way to find redemption is to rid the world of all assassins.
The comic book series, written by B. Clay Moore and illustrated by Eric Kim, will be published by Oni this year.
Nachmanoff is known for his work as a screenwriter. He co-wrote The Day After Tomorrow and worked on Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, but was able to prove is directing chops with the fantastic Traitor starring Don Cheadle, which he also wrote.
