Cary Fukanaga directing civil war heist film NO BLOOD, NO GUTS, NO GLORY

Cary Fukunaga (Jane Eyre) is directing a Civil War heist pic No Blood, No Guts, No Glory for Focus Features. Fukunaga and Chase Palmer (Dune) will write the script. The original script was part of the 2009 Black List and is descbried as "The Dirty Dozen set during the Civil War."

According to Variety, the story follows "a spy and 20 Union soldiers in disguise who board a train in Georgia in order to pull off a heist that could bring a quick end to the Civil War. Project is a fictionalized account of America's first special forces operation, though it's based on the real-life Civil War commando mission that inspired Buster Keaton's The General."

I first became familiar with Fukanaga was after his direction of Sin nombre, also financed by Focus. I have yet to see Jane Eyre, but I plan on renting it when it arrives on DVD. This sounds like an amazing concept, especially since Dirty Dozen is an awesome film.
