Antoine Fuqua Attached To New Drug Trafficking Thriller

It seems that Antoine Fuqua, one of the best directors of Manly Movies out there, is set to direct Narco Sub.  The David Guggenheim-scripted thriller that has long been a priority project at the studio. It’s set in the dangerous world of drug smuggling, and the title refers to the semi-submersible crafts that South American drug cartels have been
using to ship cocaine into the U.S. without having to deal with land-based authorities.

Fuqua is next directing boxing movie Southpaw at The Weinstein Company, and his reteam with Training Day star Denzel Washington on The Equalizer has generated such strong buzz at Sony that a sequel is already in the works.

Anything with Fuqua is usually right on the mark, looking forward to see what he can make out of this, and especially who he might cast.
