Last spring it was being discussed with Channing Tatum and Joseph Gordon-Levitt as the leads. The hiring of Strong, though, is the first real movement on the project.<\/p>\n<p>Strong&#8217;s career has been rather&#8230; well, strong, as of late. In addition to the two-part Mockingjay adaptation, he has also been earning praise for his work writing <strong>Lee Daniels\u2019 The Butler<\/strong> and has recently turned in the script for the adaptation of Dan Brown&#8217;s <em>Da Vinci Code<\/em> sequel <em>The Lost Symbol<\/em>.
