The ‘Snatch’ director will reportedly team up with Warner Bros. to write and
direct an adaptation of a new comic book, written by Lionel Wigram, which

The director, who is married to Madonna, is said to be concentrating on
Holmes’ “skills as a boxer and a swordfighter,” in a bid to change the way

According to insiders, ‘Departed’ producer Dan Lin is also involved in the
project.
Holmes is listed as the most portrayed movie character in the Guinness Book
of World Records, with over 70 actors playing the character in more than 200
films.
