Director alert: Doug Liman does 'Last of the Tribe'

Doug Liman is in talks to direct the big-screen adaptation of "The Last of the Tribe: The Epic Quest to Save a Lone Man in the Amazon," a non-fiction book by Monte Reel, a Washington Post correspondent.

Essentially, the book follows government agents sent to protect and prove the existence of the last surviving member of an Amazon tribe. Chockstone Pictures nabbed the rights and will develop the film.

Mark Bailey is writing the script. Doug Liman also directed "The Bourne Identity," "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" and "Jumper." His next film is "Fair Game," a Naomi Watts/Sean Penn thriller coming to theaters soon.
