Now he appears to be taking on an even more prestigious project, A Most Wanted Man, based on the 2008 novel by John le Carré. The book is about “Chechian Muslim Issa who illegally immigrates to Hamburg, where he gets caught up in the international war on terror.”

If that sounds familiar to you, it’s loosely based on the real-life case of Murat Kurnaz, who was detained by the US government at Guantanamo Bay for several years – maybe the producers of this can score him some free tickets.

Anyway, no word on casting or anything yet, since this is still in the early stages. As big fan of The American and a bigger fan of Corbijn’s earlier Ian Curtis biopic Control, I’m excited about this news. Can you handle my excitement? Can you?? (The Hollywood Reporter)
