Tim Story is set to direct from a spec script by Kevin Burrows and Matt Mider that was reportedly won by Amazon Studios in a bidding war, one that ended with a seven figure deal. Murphy’s regular collaborator John Davis, along with John Fox, will produce through Davis Entertainment. We’ll keep you updated as we hear more.
