Variety reports that 20th Century Fox has hired Dan McDermott to write Hong Kong Heist, an action film about rival gangs drafted by a triad leader to steal three rare gems.
The project marks the fourth feature script deal for McDermott since he traded the president post at DreamWorks TV for a typewriter. He got off to a flying start at Fox 2000 with Selling Time, a drama about a man who trades years of his life to go back and fix the worst day of his life. Interest from Will Smith gives that project a shot at getting made, says the trade.
He has also made deals at Paramount for The Adventurers Club and at New Line for the thriller Connection.
