Writer Adam Cozad has been tapped by New Regency Pictures to adapt Mark Greaney’s 2009 thriller “The Gray Man.”

Cozad is also attached to write the script for the as-of-yet untitled Jack Ryan film for Paramount. The production company Shine Limited (TV’s “Merlin”) is producing for “The Gray Man” adaptation.

Publisher Jove describes the book as;

“Court Gentry is known as The Gray Man—a legend in the covert realm, moving silently from job to job, accomplishing the impossible, and then fading away. And he always hits his target. But there are forces more lethal than Gentry in the world. And in their eyes, Gentry has just outlived his usefulness.

Now, he is going to prove that for him, there’s no gray area between killing for a living—and killing to stay alive.”

No casting or other news has been released yet.
