If all had gone to the original plan, Charlie Hunnam would have been in cinemas next month doing naughty things in Fifty Shades Of Grey, but after pulling out of that film and completing work on Sons Of Anarchy, he’s been looking for other projects.

Jason Hall (American Sniper) will write the script.
The Rolling Stone article tells the story of ‘Edgar Valdez, a high school football player from Texas who would become the only U.S. citizen to rise to the level of cartel leader in Mexico.

As the drug riches escalated along with the violence, the rival cartels turned on one another, with the help of crooked cops. Valdez’s life became a struggle to stay alive.’
It’s not known when the movie might shoot.
