Robert Downey Jr. will reportedly produce and star in a dream project envisioned by the late Steve McQueen titled Yucatan.
The film follows a “renegade deep-sea salvage expert” who gets a job to steal underwater treasure off the coast of Mexico, according to Entertainment Weekly.
EW reported that McQueen’s son found an old stash of the late actor’s notes on the project.
McQueen, who died in 1980 at the age of 50, wrote notes for the project back in the 1960s. He never wrote an official script but around 1,500 pages of notes and some storyboards. In 2005, his son sold the notes to Warner Brothers.
Deadline.com reports that the film’s producers brought in screenwriter Anthony Peckham, who worked with Downey in Sherlock Holmes and recently penned Invictus.
