It looks like Christopher McQuarrie may have found his next directorial project after the upcoming spy sequel Mission: Impossible 6, with Deadline reporting that he is attached to an adaptation of David Grann’s 2008 New Yorker feature The Chameleon, which is being scripted by Terence Winter (The Sopranos) and Carl Capotorto.
Described as a psychological thriller along the lines of The Silence of the Lambs and Making a Murderer, The Chameleon tells the true story of Frédéric Bourdin, a young French con man and serial impersonator of missing teenagers who lived with a family in San Antonio, Texas for a time during the mid-1990s, posing under the guise of being their long-presumed missing brother.
McQuarrie is currently in production on Mission: Impossible 6, which is set for release on July 27th 2018.
