The movie, produced by Joel Silver (Matrix, Sherlock Holmes), will revolve around assassin Martin Terrier's retirement plans, which are threatened by a major obstacle: his employer is determined to keep him working or to get rid of him.
If the film is a hit, Prone Gunman could launch a new franchise, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The original novel was published in France in the early 1980s, and its plot resurfaced in 2010 when it was turned into a comic book.
