According to THR, George Clooney
and Grant Heslov are making arrangements to produce a remake of the 2013
Norwegian thriller Pioneer directed by Erik Skjoldbjærg.
"Set in the early 80's,
"Pioneer" takes place at the beginning of the Norwegian Oil Boom.
Enormous oil and gas deposits are discovered in the North Sea and the
authorities aim to bring the oil ashore through a pipeline from depths of 500
meters. A professional diver, Petter is obsessed with reaching the bottom of
the Norwegian Sea. Along with his brother Knut he has the discipline, strength
and courage to take on the world's most dangerous mission. But a sudden, tragic
accident changes everything. Petter is sent on a perilous journey where he
loses sight of who's pulling the strings. Gradually he realizes that he is in
way over his head and that his life is at stake."
THR notices that neither Clooney
has plans to direct it nor has Heslov plans to write it.
