What If...? – Fox / TSG / Scott Free / SK Genre / Fuqua (Antoine Fuqua's Narco Sub)

In the fall of 2011, it was announced that 20th Century Fox had acquired the spec script Narco Sub, an action thriller written by Safe House scribe David Guggenheim, with visionary filmmaker Tony Scott attached to direct. Scott would also serve as a producer through Scott Free Productions alongside Simon Kinberg, and enlisted Unstoppable scribe Mark Bomback to perform a rewrite. However, the following year, Scott tragically passed away and development on the project halted until 2013, when it was reported that The Bourne Identity helmer Doug Liman was in talks to direct, with Scott's brother Ridley taking his place as producer. Kinberg also contributed further revisions to the script alongside Sherlock Holmes collaborator Anthony Peckham. The following year, Antoine Fuqua was set to direct, with Liam Neeson starring in the film, whose story would be set in the dangerous world of drug smuggling, with the title referring to the semi-submersible crafts that South American drug cartels have been using to ship cocaine into the United States without having to deal with land-based authorities. No doubt many of Fuqua's frequent collaborators would've also joined in, including score composer Harry Gregson-Williams, film editors Conrad Buff and John Refoua, production designer Naomi Shohan, and cinematographer Mauro Fiore. Alas, no further news ever came of the project. Follow me and ponder the question, "What if...?"
