Bruce Willis is in line to play a CIA agent in Jeffrey Nachmanoff's upcoming thriller American Assassin, about a college student on a mission to track down terrorists.
The 57-year-old actor is negotiating a role in the CIA thriller, which is an adaptation of Vince Flynn’s novel.
The screenplay has been adapted by Mike Finch and Lorenzo di Bonaventura is on board to produce.
The story is based on the eleventh book in the series about Mitch Rapp and will see the central hero, who is yet to be cast, seek revenge by signing up to the CIA after his girlfriend is tragically killed in a terrorist attack.
Bruce is said to be in line for the part of an older secret agent who acts at Mitch's mentor.
American Assassin is scheduled for release in 2013.
