BroadwayWorld has learned that David Leitch has taken on THE COLDEST CITY.

Leitch previously departed production as co-director with Chad Stahelski on JOHN WICK 2 to pursue other things, and it seems that Leitch's first endeavor since leaving is the Charlize Theron-led spy thriller. The film is based on a Cold War era novel of the same name by Kurt Johnstad.

November 1989. Communism is collapsing, and soon the Berlin Wall will come down with it. But before that happens there is one last bit of cloak & dagger to attend to. Two weeks ago, an undercover MI6 officer was killed in Berlin. He was carrying information from a source in the East - a list that allegedly contains the name of every espionage agent working in Berlin, on all sides. No list was found on his body. Now Lorraine Broughton, an experienced spy with no pre-existing ties to Berlin, has been sent into this powderkeg of social unrest, counter-espionage, defections gone bad and secret assassinations to bring back THE LIST and save the lives of the British agents whose identities reside on it.
