Doug Liman To Direct The Last Of The Tribe Adaptation

By Peter Sciretta/July 14, 2010 9:00 am EST

The story definitely sounds ripe for a Hollywood adaptation. I tend to prefer Liman’s smaller films (Swingers, G0) to his big budget productions (Mr. And Mrs. Smith and Jumper) with The Bourne Identity being the perfect middle ground. This sounds like it might fall somewhere in the center as well.

Here is the official book description:

A heart-pounding modern-day adventure set in one of the world’s last truly wild places, The Last of the Tribe is a riveting, brilliantly told tale of encountering the unknown and the unfathomable, and the value of preserving it.
