The movie will also be produced by Lorenzo DiBonaventura, Brad Krevoy, and Mark Vahradian. The late Robert Evans, who produced Paramount’s 1997 movie adaption starring Val Kilmer, will also get a producer credit.
The upcoming project is based in part on Leslie Charteris’ 1920s book series and subsequent 1960s UK TV series starring Roger Moore.
It follows Simon Templar, known as The Saint, a Robin Hood-esque criminal for hire, who goes after corrupt politicians, warmongers, and criminals.
The plot details for the reimagining are being kept under wraps, but sources stated in a press statement that the movie will be a completely new take that reimagines the character and world around him.
Page recently wrapped production on the Netflix movie "The Gray Man" starring Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans.
He will also star alongside Chris Pine in an untitled "Dungeons and Dragons" movie.
