Jason Fuchs is writing the script which is based on Ellie Conway’s soon-to-be-released debut novel of the same name. Transworld Publishers Ltd., a division of Penguin Random House is publishing Conway’s novel next year.
The film (and book) will follow the globe-trotting adventures of a super-spy named Argylle across the U.S., London and other exotic locations. The cast’s roles have yet to be revealed.
“When I read this early draft manuscript I felt it was the most incredible and original spy franchise since Ian Fleming’s books of the ’50s,” said Vaughan. “This is going to reinvent the spy genre.”

Shooting on the film will begin in Europe this August.
