The Universal Pictures has acquired the rights of the female-fronted spy thriller, '355', for the US market.
The deal was made during the ongoing Cannes Film Festival 2018, confirmed The Hollywood Reporter.
The James Bond-esque flick is touted to be high on the anticipation factor due to its ensemble star cast - Jessica Chastain, Penelope Cruz, Lupita Nyong'o, Marion Cotillard, and Chinese superstar Fan Bingbing.
The film is said to revolve around five female spies and their escapades. The script has not been finalised but Theresa Rebeck of 'Catwoman' fame is set to write the screenplay, reports The Hollywood Reporter.
