McG To Direct “Dead Spy Running”

Warner Bros. has acquired rights to “Dead Spy Running” for McG to direct.

The spy novel which tells the origin story of newly trained spy, written by British author Jon Stock will be published next summer as the first of a trilogy, aims to reinvent the spy genre.

McG will direct at least the first installment.

McG is in post-production on “Terminator: Salvation,” the fourth installment in the “Terminator” franchise, which is set for release May 22, 2009.
