NEW YORK (TheWrap.com) - French visual effects company BUF has optioned "Romeo," a spec script from newcomer Will Simmons.
The film, an action thriller with a modern twist on William Shakespeare's legendary character, marks a partnership between the effects house and Energy Independent, a film development, packaging and production arm of Brooklyn Weaver's Energy Entertainment.
In the script, instead of being a star-crossed lover, Romeo resurfaces as an undercover agent trying to take down a major crime syndicate. India Osborne, BUF's head of production, will produce with Weaver. Simmons will co-produce.
Production will take place in Europe, though the producers must still sign a director.
BUF has done effects for movies such as "Thor," "Avatar" and Christopher Nolan's "Batman" films. It recently launched a production arm and has begun to make animated and live-action films such as Eran Riklis' "Zaytoun" and Moebius' "La Planete Encore."
Energy Independent, launched in February, is still developing its first projects.
