From Lee Goldberg’s site<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Covert Media is also producing my screenplay adaptation of Victor Gischler\u2018s Edgar-nominated novel GUN MONKEYS , which will be directed by Simon Brand. The development history of GUN MONKEYS goes back years. I optioned the book myself, wrote the script on spec, and for a long while it was set up with actor Kevin Costner and director Ryuhei Kitamura. That project came real close to getting made\u2026and then fell apart. A new producing team came on board, offers are going out to big-name actors now, and we\u2019re on track to shoot in late 2017\/early 2018.<\/p>\n

Back in September, Simon shot an action scene from my script as a camera\/lighting test\u2026and I\u2019ve just been given the okay to share it now that he\u2019s posted it on his site. The key parts are played by his friends and it has a voice-over that isn\u2019t in the script \u2014 I wrote it just for this so that the action makes sense out of context. I think the footage looks terrific. Here it is. I hope you like it!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
