Francis Lawrence is attached to direct the Untitled Delta Force Prison Project, an action thriller for Warner Bros. The screenplay is written by Ari Rubin.
The project tells the true story of the riots and siege of Atlanta Federal Penitentiary in 1987. Cuban and American prisoners seized control of the maximum security facility and took more than 100 federal prison staff members hostage. The situation was so extreme that the FBI's hostage rescue team was ill-equipped to handle the riots, and Delta Force, the Special Forces detachment, was called in to retake the prison.
