British director Neil Marshall (Doomsday) has signed up to direct Hugh Jackman in Drive, an adaptation of the novel by James Sallis.

The plot of the film follows Jackman’s character - a stuntman who moonlights as a getaway driver for robberies. However, things take a turn for the worse when he discovers that somebody has put out a contract on his life. Expect lots of car-based mayhem.

The Universal Picture which has been scripted by Hossein Amini is scheduled to begin shooting this summer. Time will tell though if Jackman will indeed star, as the actor has a schedule packed as tight as Posh Spice’s suitcase.
