Jeremy Renner Producing Steve McQueen Biopic: Is He the New James Franco?
In Development By Nathan Adams on April 28, 2011 | Be the First To CommentJeremy Renner has a role in the upcoming Mission Impossible sequel Ghost Protocol. He’s going to be playing Hawkeye in Marvel’s upcoming Avengers movie, which will undoubtedly spawn sequels and spin-offs. He’s inheriting the Bourne series from Matt Damon. What else could he possibly put on his plate? Well it turns out he’s somehow found the time to start his own production company and begin development on a Steve McQueen biopic that he will both produce and star in. Watch out James Franco, your productivity is starting to look ordinary. This new production company will be called The Combine, and a quote floating around to describe their mission states that, “the company will provide a framework to create, develop and support the vision of actors, writers, and directors across all platforms.” What does that mean for a Steve McQueen biopic? Well it means they’re getting We Own the Night director James Gray to write the screenplay, which will be based on two books by Marshall Terrill called Portrait of an American Rebel and The Life and Legend of a Hollywood Icon. Also it will allow video director Ivan Zacharias to make his feature film debut. That’s a good handful of artistic visions being supported right there, so the story checks out.
