Gerard McMurray to Direct and Write Michael B. Jordan's THE SILVER BEAR

The Silver Bear is an upcoming film starring and produced by Michael B. Jordan. Frank Baldwin was brought on to the project by Nickel City Pictures to adapt Derek Haas’ novel series, and now Gerard McMurray (The First Purge) has been brought in to serve as director and writer.

The Silver Bear is a film adaptation of Derek Haas’ best-seller about Columbus (Jordan), the most feared and respected hitman in the criminal underworld.

Regarding teaming up once more with Jordan, McMurray had this to say:

Fruitvale Station changed our lives. Six years later I’m reuniting with Michael in 2019 and directing him in one of the most exciting and intelligent kick-ass action projects Hollywood and Lionsgate has cooking. It’s beyond dreams. Michael is an amazing, one-of-a-kind talent. He will bring a chilling and unnerving edge, authenticity and precision to the character of Columbus. The Silver Bear is an incredible hunt-and-chase story about the most skilled and feared hitman in the underworld and I have a unique vision for how I want to bring that to life. I am beyond honored and excited to be working with such supportive partners as Outlier Society, Nickel City Pictures and Lionsgate on my next film.

The Silver Bear does not have a release date yet.
