Lionsgate is in negotiations with Rupert Wyatt to direct 'Boxman.'

"The thriller takes place after a botched bank heist leaves 19 people locked inside a state-of-the-art vault, and the FBI recruits the world's foremost box man from federal prison so he can break them out before they suffocate inside," as per Deadline.

'Boxman' will be produced by 42's Ben Pugh and Josh Varney, alongside Range Media Partners' Brian Kavanaugh-Jones and Fred Berger. Casey Durant and AJ Bourscheid will serve as executive producers for Range.

Meredith Wieck and Jon Humphrey are overseeing for Lionsgate. Lionsgate's Bonnie Stylides is negotiating the deal.

Wyatt made his directorial debut with 'The Escapist.' It is a 2008 drama thriller film that stars Brian Cox, Joseph Fiennes, Liam Cunningham, Seu Jorge, Dominic Cooper, Steven Mackintosh, Stephen Farrelly, and Damian Lewis.
