Joe are you paying attention???????
I am on the lookout for projects to put JF back to work............and this sounds interesting:
Variety.is reporting that Spielberg is "seriously considering" directing a project tentatively called Matt Helm. Helm is based on a series of 27 novels written by Donald Hamilton about a government agent whose mission is to take down enemy agents. While the novels were set in the post-WWII Cold War era, the current script is set in the present. The latest draft of the script, written by Paul Attanasio (Sphere, The Sum of All Fears, The Good German), was what sparked Spielberg's recent interest in the project. I like the sound of it so far.
Wikipedia describes Matt Helm as "a U.S. government counter-agent-a man whose primary job is to kill or nullify enemy agents-not a spy or secret agent in the ordinary sense of the term as used in spy thrillers"
