Roger Donaldson ("The Bank Job," "The World's Fastest Indian") has signed to helm and produce the period drama "
Honor Among Men," according to a source close to the production.
The pic, which is being scripted by fellow Aussie Max Mannix ("Tokyo Sonata," "Rain Fall"), is about a runaway slave from New York who makes his way to the Australian gold fields in 1854 and finds himself entangled in a rebellion by the gold miners against the British army.
