Gavin O'Connor to direct 'Running'

Los Angeles, Nov 14 (PTI) "The Accountant" director Gavin O'Connor is set to direct an upcoming film for Apple Original Films, titled "Running".

Described as "a running prodigy on the hunt for greatness who uses his gifts to outrun his past and forge his future", the details about the film are being kept under wraps, according to the entertainment news outlet Deadline.

The film will have a script by Bill Dubuque, who is reuniting with O’Connor after their work on "The Accountant" films.
