Oscar-winning writer-turned-director Frank Pierson (HBO's Conspiracy) is attached to direct. Strathairn won an Independent Spirit Award for his role in 1991's City of Hope. He recently starred in the CBS telefilm Master Spy: The Robert Hanssen Story. Strathairn is repped by the Gersh Agency and manager Madeline Ryan.
