Dutch director Paul Verhoeven ("Basic Instinct," "Total Recall," "RoboCop") has inked a deal to helm the war film "Beast of Bataan," Variety reports.
The movie, an adaptation of the Lawrence Taylor novel "A Trial of Generals," centres on the war crimes trial of Lt. Gen. Masaharu Homma at the end of World War II.
Homma was the Japanese officer in charge of the Bataan death march endured by American and Filipino POWs in 1942 in the Phillipines.
"Beast of Bataan" is scheduled to being shooting this winter.
