Back in February we reported that William Goldman would adapt his 1985 crime thriller Heat, with Jason Statham starring. At the time Brian De Palma was attached to direct, but today we're learning that Simon West (Con Air, The General's Daughter) will helm the remake. West also directed Jason Statham in The Mechanic.
Goldman, who has won two Oscars for adapted screenplays (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, 1969; and All the President's Men, 1976), first adapted his book for the 1986 film Heat starring Burt Reynolds.
Heat is expected to begin production in February 2013.
