Regé-Jean Page is set to follow in Roger Moore's footsteps in Paramountꦫ's reboot of The🌜 Saint.

The Bridgerton actor will executive producing and star in the project, reports. Kwame Kwei-Armah OBE, the current artistic director of Londonꦏ's The Young Vic, is penning a new version of the script. Kwei-Armah is also co-writing Spike Lee's upcoming musical project, and co-wrote 892, which stars John Boyega. Alongside Page, Lorenzo d♔i Bonaventura, Brad Krevoy, and Mark Vahradian will produce, as well as the late Robert Evans, who will be credited posthumously.

reports that their sources indicate the new film will be a total reimagining of the character and the world.

Back in the '60s, Moore played Templar in The Saint TV series, which ran for seven years – and Page acknowledged his predecessor in🧸 a t🌳weet.

Of course, Moore also famously played 007 in several James Bond movies through the '70s and '80s. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Page is among the f🍨avorites t🍎o be the next Bond when Daniel Craig leaves the role after the upcoming 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:No Time to Die, though at the moment, it's anyone's guess who'll ꧂be receiving the license to kill next.

Paramount released a movie version of The Saint in 1997, with Val Kilmer star𝓰ring as Templar. This isn't the first iteration of the new project, either: a previous version was set to feature Chris Pine, with Dexter Fletcher directing. It's unknown if Fletcher, who is helming The Offer, a Paramount Plus series ab♍out the making of The Godfather, is involved in this reboot. 

Page, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:who is not returningꦚ for ꦉmore Bridgerton, is also set to appear in Netflix's upcoming thriller The Gray Man, from 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Avengers: Endgame directors Joe and Anthony Russo and starring Chris Evans, Ryan Gosling, and Ana de Armas. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Page also has a part in Paramount's Dungeon🌌s & Dragons movie, and was recently Emmy nominated for Best Actor in a Drama Series for Bridgerton.
