James Bond producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli have signed up to produce Remote Control, Sony Pictures has announced.

The pair, who steered Casino Royale and Quantum Of Solace with the studio, will oversee production on the thriller.

Based on Mark Burnell's novel, the story centres on a war correspondent-turned-intelligence analyst who becomes part of a Western conspiracy to derail the Chinese economy.

"Our collaboration with Michael and Barbara on Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace was extraordinary and special and we all wanted to find another way to work together," said Columbia Pictures president Doug Belgrand. "Mark Burnell's new novel is an exciting thriller and it's precisely the kind of material that Michael and Barbara will be able to adapt so well."

Wilson and Broccoli are also working on a Chitty Chitty Bang Bang remake.
