Warner Bros. has purchased the rights to the new book Dark Invasion by Howard Blum, to be developed for as a star vehicle for Cooper. The book centers on a New York Police Captain tasked with stopping German Secret Service agents who came to the United States in 1915 to covertly stop us from joining the War. Read more below.

A blend of period crime with international espionage and historical significance. Sounds very promising. Next up will be hiring a screenwriter to adapt the book and go from there. And there’s no rush. Cooper’s star will only rise in the coming year with The Hangover Part III on the way, followed by the new David O. Russell film.
