Sony Pictures and Overbrook Entertainment are in early talks to acquire feature film rights to Allen Zadoff’s young adult novel “Boy Nobody” reports Variety.
The first in a planned trilogy, the young Bourne-esque story follows a brainwashed teenage assassin who starts to regain his emotions after being trained not to feel.
If the deal closes, the project will be developed as a starring vehicle for “The Karate Kid” star Jaden Smith.
