Rick Famuyiwa, director of 2015 indie comedy Dope, is in negotiations with Sony Pictures to helm an adaptation of upcoming graphic novel Son of Shaolin.
It looked for a little while as if Famuyiwa would parlay his success with the little seen but beloved gem Dope into major blockbuster filmmaking, agreeing with Warner Brothers in June of 2016 to direct The Flash (now known as Flashpoint) inside their DC Extended Universe. As has been consistently the case with that project, however, the instability in the pre-production process forced Famuyiwa to leave over “creative differences.” Still looking for his follow-up to Dope, it appears that the director has landed on another adaptation to climb aboard.
