Matthew Vaughn and Jane Goldman's remake script for Israeli thriller The Debt has been picked up by Miramax, The Hollywood Reporter says.
The story follows three Mossad agents who chase a Nazi war criminal across Europe 20 years after the Second World War has ended.
Vaughn has previously directed Layer Cake and Stardust, as well as producing Guy Ritchie's early films. He is currently attached to direct Thor for Marvel Studios and Kick-Ass, based on Mark Millar's comic series.
He will reportedly produce but not helm The Debt. Several directors are said to be interested in the project.
Goldman, the wife of TV presenter Jonathan Ross, co-wrote Stardust with Vaughn.
