Scott and his co-writing pal Steve Zaillian (American Gangster) have signed on to reimagine the 2003 British pseudo-documentary The Day Britain Stopped, which followed a fictional train crash, and how it eventually took down the country's entire transportation grid.
According to a source, Scott’s version will be “inspired by” the 2003 drama, but won’t be a straight remake. For one thing, it sounds like his take will be larger in scope, with global rather than national consequences. The producing pair are currently seeking a writer. No director has been announced at this time.
