NARC and THE A TEAM director Joe Carnahan recently parted ways on Endgame Entertainment’s conspiracy thriller UMBRA. Now we have news that Martin Campbell, director of great Bond adventures GOLDENEYE , CASINO ROYALE and unfortunately last summers dreadful GREEN LANTERN, will now take the reins. Shooting on the film is expected to begin in the spring and Academy Award-winner Paul Haggis will re-write the screenplay originally penned by Steven Karczynski.
Carnahan, whose soon-to-be-seen survival thriller THE GREY is receiving incredible buzz, is said to have cited personal reasons for leaving the project. UMBRA will tell the story of a businessman who after receiving a package in the mail, becomes embroiled in a dangerous conspiracy involving some unsavoury government officials.
