The untitled project, to be written by Lisa Schrager, will follow Banerjee as he rises from a gas pumper in Culver City to the owner of the strip club that evolved into the all-male dance troupe Chippendales.
Banerjee's wealth led to extreme paranoia, prompting him to hire a hitman to murder a choreographer. Banerjee was found hanged in his prison cell in 1994 hours before he was to be sentenced.
Scott is reportedly eager to give the Chippendales movie the same tone as his Quentin Tarantino-scripted crime film True Romance.
The Britsh filmmaker recently helmed Denzel Washington/John Travolta thriller The Taking Of Pelham 123 and is currently preparing action film Unstoppable.
