Andrew Bergman will direct Intermedia Films' "Joe's Last Chance," reports The Hollywood Reporter.
Described as in the vein of "Analyze This," the script centers on a dedicated hit man who travels to a tropical paradise to terminate his "mark." However, when the "mark" inadvertently saves the hit man's life, the hit man gives him a stay of execution and uses the opportunity to take a long overdue vacation, sparking an unexpected friendship with the man he is supposed to kill.
Bergman has recently completed a rewrite on the script, which Intermedia picked up as a spec from first-time screenwriter Dwayne Smith two years ago.
