Set in the early 1950s, the story follows Nicholai Hel
(DiCaprio), a Westerner raised in Japan by a martial arts expert who trains him
to become a deadly assassin and strategist. When Hel is thrown into solitary
confinement at a Tokyo prison, the CIA springs him free on the condition that
he assassinates the Soviet commissioner to China.
According to Deadline, Shane Salerno (Armageddon) will be
penning the script alongside Winslow. John Lesher's Grisdi Productions and
DiCaprio's Appian Way partner Jennifer Killoran will be producing. Warners
believe that the film could serve as a potential springboard for their own
Jason Bourne-type action franchise.
