Millennium Negotiates with Eric Bana for Le Convoyeur

On October 10th, 2008

Millenium Films is planning a remake of 2004 French heist drama “Le Convoyeur,” and is courting Eric Bana to be its star. Along with Bana, Millenium is also negotiating with F. Gary Gray to be its director. The movie has been renamed “Armored” and is scripted by David Ayer and Andrew Kevin Walker. The story follows a man who takes a job for an armored car company and ingratiates himself with his co-workers, who trust him enough to make him part of their heist plans. Unbeknownst to his colleagues, the man had his own motives for taking the job.

Bana plays the villian in J.J. Abrams-directed “Star Trek,” and now, Millenium is trying to get him with a $7.5 million paycheck (sources said). The movie is being produced by Michaels Goldwyn partners Lorne Michaels and John Goldwyn, Emmett/Furla’s Randall Emmett, Avi Lerner and Michael Aguilar.
