Overview
- Danny Ramirez will star in and produce the project through his Pinstripes banner alongside collaborator Tom Culliver.
- The team says the film will modernize Armitage Trail’s 1930 novel, a source that is now in the public domain.
- Universal retains rights to Brian De Palma’s 1983 version, and the new project is positioned as distinct from that film.
- Pinstripes has reportedly secured development financing to pursue an independently developed, non-nostalgia approach.
- Ramirez frames the role as personal, citing his Colombian and Mexican heritage, and the project remains in early development with no director or timeline announced.
