Variety is reporting that Antoine Fuqua (Training Day, Tears of the Sun, Brooklyn's Finest, and recently reported Miss: Better Living Through Crime) will direct the film adaptation of Consent To Kill, the sixth thriller by Vince Flynn featuring CIA counterterrorism operative Mitch Rapp. CBS Films, which is producing, acquired the rights to the series two years ago with an expectation of building a franchise around the character (a la Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan).
About Consent To Kill: An eye for an eye: that's what the powerful father of a dead terrorist demands in retribution -- and with his hate-filled plea, Mitch Rapp becomes the target of an explosive international conspiracy. The fearless operative has both killed with impunity and tortured to avert disaster, all in a battle to preserve freedom. But even among America's allies, some believe the time has come to bring Rapp down. Now the hunter is the hunted, and Rapp must rely on his razor-sharp instincts for survival -- and justice -- as he unleashes his fury on those who have betrayed him.
