It is reported that Cillian Murphy and Daniel Craig are in negotiations to star in a prison drama from La La Land and Whiplash director Damien Chazelle.
US entertainment trade publication The Hollywood Reporter says the film has been described as "a two-hander set in a prison" with a production start eyed for later this year.
The news was first reported by the US entertainment trade publication Deadline.
The Hollywood Reporter says Chazelle had been working on a planned Leonardo DiCaprio-starring biopic of the stunt rider Evel Knievel but has since pivoted to the prison project.
"At one point, Chazelle was working with DiCaprio on the prison project before the two focused on Knievel," The Hollywood Reporter adds.
Murphy was seen on cinema screens in Small Things Like These last year and has since completed filming on the Peaky Blinders movie.
