Paramount Pictures reportedly won a bidding war for the rights to Neal Bascomb?s non-fiction book proposal Sabotage.  (Full title: Sabotage: A Genius Scientist, His Band of Young Commandos, and the Mission to Kill Hitler?s Super Bomb.)  The Wrap reports Michael Bay will produce and is eying the project as a potential directing vehicle.

 

Set in 1942, the story follows a brilliant scientist who flees the Gestapo to inform the Allies that the Nazis are secretly developing a nuclear program at an industrial fortress called Vermork deep in the mountainous expanse of Norway?s Telemark region. Knowing that Hitler gaining nuclear capabilities would be unthinkably catastrophic, the Allies assemble a fearless team of nine Norwegian refugee commandos to infiltrate the Nazi-occupied country. In an apparent suicide mission, this team must brave the arctic landscape and pull off an impossibly daring assault on Vermork, which sits perched on impenetrable, icy cliffs. With little more than parachutes, skis, tommy guns, and explosives, the team is the Allies? only hope to halt Hitler?s nuclear ambitions, and their adventure is one of WWII most thrilling, action-packed tales.
