Zathura director Jon Favreau is set to write and direct Columbia Pictures drama
Johnny Zero, says the Hollywood Reporter.
The story chronicles the birth of the hot-rod movement in the years after World War II. Favreau is a self-described hot-rod enthusiast.
"I've always been intrigued with the culture and music of the postwar period," Favreau said. "The birth of hot rodding marked a new chapter in the American dream."
