Espionage thriller "The Saint" will get a reboot by Paramount Pictures.
The Val Kilmer-starrer film was based on the book series by Leslie Charteris that ran from 1923 to 1963.
The studio has secured the book series rights, reported Us magazine.
Robert Evans is likely to produce the film. If the deal is closed, the studio will have another franchise in development.
