Phillip Noyce goes from CIA to FBI with ‘Above Suspicion’

He has his hands full with studio-backed Edwin A. Salt about CIA officer (Angelina Jolie) who must prove her innocence, and he has got his fall already planned out with an FBI agent who is convicted for murder after an affair with an informer that threatened to destroy his career and marriage. Phillip Noyce has signed onto direct the book-to-screen adaptation of Above Suspicion — a true crime thriller based on the book written by Joe Sharkey and scripted by Chris Gerolmo (the scribe behind Mississippi Burning).

The film will be produced by Bold Films‘ Michel Litvak, David Lancaster and Gary Michael Walters, along with Colleen Camp, Amy Adelson and Angela Amato. Bold’s Garrick Dion will serve as co-producer.
