2 Fast 2 Furious writers Michael Brandt and Derek Haas are set to write the remake of the Belgian cop thriller
An Honest Tradesman, according to Variety.
"Un honnette commercant," the original French-language film, centers on the psychological battle between a drug kingpin and police investigators after a brutal murder. In the course of the interrogation, the story emerges of how a mild-mannered tax inspector morphed into a ruthless crime figure.
Brandt who is making his directing debut said, "'Tradesman' is the perfect calling card for us. Cool, smart, hip - pretty much all the things we aren't."
