Len Wiseman to helm 'Shell Game'

Washington, Mar 11 : Len Wiseman has signed on to helm futuristic sci-fi action thriller 'Shell Game' for Lakeshore Entertainment and Columbia Pictures.

'Shell Game' follows a detective who is faced with a moral dilemma as he investigates the dangerous black-market business of immortality.

Wiseman and Chris Morgan penned the original screenplay by Justin Biondi and Andrew Ludington.

Wiseman has described the new film as a passion project.

"I've been wanting to make this film for the past five years, but it's a huge film and has always been too expensive to make at the level I've wanted to make it at. Now I'm finally getting a chance to do it at that level," Variety quoted Wiseman, as saying.

Wiseman is producing alongside Lakeshore's Tom Rosenberg, Gary Lucchesi and Skip Williamson.

JC Spink and Chris Bender the executive producers.
