Warner Bros. has acquired the rights to adapt Alexis Nolent’s graphic novel series “Headshot,” according to Variety.

The main story line focuses on a cop and a hit man who form an unusual alliance after losing their respective partners. Consequently, they both seek revenge against someone they discover is a shared enemy.

Alessandro Camon, whose credits include Oren Moverman’s “The Messenger,” will write the script.

“Headshot” is not the first Nolent title to make it into the big-screen development process. Warner is also currently prepping “Cyclops,” which James Mangold is expected to direct.

Additionally, David Fincher is attached to helm the adaptation on Nolent’s “The Killer,” about a hit man who struggles with a load of bad luck.
