Paul Greengrass to direct cold war thriller 'The Tunnels'
There has been a lot of talk lately about Paul Greengrass and Matt Damon reuniting for another Bourne movie, but that isn't the only project Greengrass is being attached to.
Greengrass is now set to direct The Tunnels, a film that is based on a true story from the Cold War, which focusses on a group of people who seek to escape East Berlin in the late ’80s.
FilmNation Entertainment recently picked up the film rights to the proposed book by author Greg Mitchell. With the book not yet written, it's likely the script is months away from being ready to shoot. Variety reports Mitchell’s proposal is “the untold true story of a great escape before the Berlin Wall fell in 1989. The story focuses on a group of West Germans trying to get their loved ones out of East Berlin, with the unlikely help of American news networks, who funded their expedition.”
