Warner Bros. is developing a new movie that could become the next James Bond style action-adventure franchise.

The 'American James Bond' has been created by writer Bill DuBuque (Ozark) and tells the story of a black ops agent working to keep a newly discovered diamond mine from falling into the hands of the wrong people.

The script caught the eye of studio exec Kevin McCormick who is now searching for a director.

He's working with the studio to get together a list of potential candidates to take on the lead role as well as a role called Uncle Brendan, who raised Jett as well as introducing him to the spy world.

That Hashtag Show reports the studio is looking for someone like Chris Hemsworth for Day and Brad Pitt style for Brendan.

They hope to start filming before the end of 2019, so they better get a move on.
