English director Simon West has been brought on to direct Dust and Glory.
The Expendables 2 and Tomb Raider director will helm the story set in the 1950s, following a car race that covered 10,000km around Australia and focused on the rivalry between an American driver and his Australian counterpart.
Robert Galinsky (Prey) has written the script based upon the Evan Green novelisation of the events.
Along with Galinsky’s Top Cat Media partners Elizabeth Howatt-Jackman (Prey, Hating Alison Ashley) and David Parker (The Big Steal, Matching Jack), Blue Star Entertainment’s Jason Shuman and William Sherak (Role Models) will produce.
Galinsky said: “Simon West was our top choice and couldn’t be more perfectly suited to tell this story. We are beyond excited to have him.”
The film is scheduled to begin production this summer in Australia.
