Sam Bayer set to direct Michael Bay produced ‘Fiasco’

Music video and commercial director Sam Bayer has signed on to direct the action thriller “Fiasco Heights” for Universal. Michael Bay, Andrew Form and Brad Fuller are producing via their Platinum Dunes banner.

In the project, which also has shades of film noir, a gunman returns to the crime-ridden city of Fiasco Heights and teams with a degenerate gambler/private eye on the run from a syndicate to look for a beautiful femme fatale and a mysterious briefcase. Kyle Ward penned the most recent draft.
