1. Stephen Gaghan Set to Script ‘Dead Spy’ - Hollywood Reporter How does an ambitious talent like Stephen Gaghan go from penning an Oscar winning screenplay for Traffic, followed by Syriana, to drafting a slicked-back McG spy-flick that’ll likely do little more than retrace the Bourne trilogy? How many zeros in the answer? Looking past this Dead Spy Running, which Gaghan will adapt from the as-yet-unpublished novel from John Stock, he’s still thinking over the screenplay for his film treatment of Malcolm Gladwell’s 2005 book, Blink. An additional, seven-figure payoff will come from a recent ABC deal calling for Gaghan to write and exec produce a pilot for an hour-long series.  Some of his earliest work aired on the network in the nineties when he turned in a couple scripts for NYPD Blue and The Practice.
