What do we know about the Battlefield movie?
According to a new report from THR, Jordan is attached to produce a new movie based on the video game franchise. Currently, it’s unclear if he’ll star in the movie, but THR reports that Christopher McQuarrie, who has directed several Mission: Impossible films, is attached to write, direct, and produce the film.
