Die Hard 4.0 director Len Wiseman will direct the action movie Shell Game for Columbia Pictures.

Taking place in the the future, the science-fiction thriller follows a detective investigating the black-market immortality trade. Wiseman wrote the current draft of the script with Chris Morgan.

Wiseman described the film as a passion project five years in the making.

"I've been wanting to make this film for the past five years, but it's a huge film and has always been too expensive to make at the level I've wanted to make it at," Wiseman explained. "Now I'm finally getting a chance to do it at that level."

The director's other credits include Underworld and Underworld: Evolution, which starred his wife Kate Beckinsale.
