Antonio Banderas detects a ‘Big Bang’

Hannibal Pictures is developing a “neo-noir” detective story of which Tony Krantz (Otis) will be directing. The screenplay was written by Erik Jendresen (Band of Brothers). The movie will star Antonio Banderas as a private dick in Los Angeles, hired on to locate a missing stripper.

From the way the plot synopsis reads, it sounds like it will have an element of dark humor involved, a la Oliver Stone’s ‘U-Turn’. Banderas’ P.I. character follows the case’s trail into the New Mexico desert where he encounters a Russian boxer, a trail of bodies and a billionaire trying to recreate the nuclear physics equivalent to the Big Bang.
