Jerry Bruckheimer has been trying to bring Lorenzo Carcaterra's novel "Apaches" to the big screen for more than a decade, and it now looks like the project is finally moving ahead. At least the writing is.

Variety says Sean O'Keefe and Will Staples will adapt "Apaches," a crime story about a group of retired New York City cops putting together a renegade to bring down the city's most ruthless criminals.

O'Keefe and Staples are also developing several other projects, including "World's Most Wanted" and "The Cruelest Miles." They are among many writers who tried to take a stab at Carcaterra's book.

It's time Bruckheimer produces a solid flick, because his latest ones didn't really deliver the goods in terms of quality: "G-Force," "Confessions of a Shopaholic" and National Treasure: Book of Secrets" all sucked!
