Screenwriter-turned-director Shane Black, who directed 2005's flop Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang, will next helm actioner Cold Warrior for Universal Pictures, according to Daily Variety.
Based on a script by Chuck Mondry, the story revolves around a spy from the Cold War era who comes out of retirement to team with a younger agent from the new school to confront a domestic terrorism threat orchestrated by Russia.
Pic will be produced by Michelle Manning (The Eye). David Greenblatt and Anthony Bagarozzi are also producing.
Mondry and Bagarozzi are screenwriting partners who sold their action-thriller spec Tick-Tock to Sony Pictures for $1 million in 2000.
Black is best known for penning the "Lethal Weapon" pics, "The Last Boy Scout" and "The Long Kiss Goodnight."
Manning is producing The Dirt, a biopic on rock band Motley Crue.
