Production is expected to begin next year based on the script by Lawrence Kasdan, which was originally written by Travis Beacham. Thunder Road's Basil Iwanyk is producing for both Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros. Pictures, the latter also holding the North American distribution to the flick.

Norrington, a native of London, England, UK, is known for his style of the use of ambience to create an audio illusion representing despair or solitude. Aside from "Extraordinary Gentlemen", his other recognized directing effort was "Blade", which grossed over $130 million worldwide when got released in 1998.
