“Suicide Squad” and “Bright” helmer David Ayer has been set to write, direct and produce an adaptation of Harlan Coben’s 2018 bestseller “Six Years” for Cedar Park.
The title refers to the time that has passed since Jake Fisher watched Natalie, the love of his life, marry another man. With a heart broken, he throws himself into his career as a college professor, while keeping a promise to leave her alone.
While he simmers in a slow building rage, his hopes rise when he reads that her husband died. Unable to help himself, he goes to the funeral and discovers the wife of the deceased man isn’t the woman he fell in love with. He becomes determined to find her and get the truth.
Chris Long will produce. Ayer is currently in post on the gritty indie urban street drama “The Tax Collector” starring Shia LaBeouf.
