Rege-Jean Page is trading his Bridgerton title as the Duke of Hastings for something a bit more adventurous. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the actor who starred in Season 1 of the Netflix drama has signed on to lead a movie reboot of The Saint.

　　Paramount is producing this new take on The Saint, with a script to be written by playwright and actor Kwame Kwei-Armah. The project is based on the Leslie Charteris novels about the character Simon Templar, a detective and thief who fights against evil forces. The series has been adapted a number of times on TV and in film. The most recent example is the 1997 movie The Saint, starring Val Kilmer, who portrayed Templar as a master of disguise.

　　Per THR, Chris Pine was most recently attached to star in an adaptation of The Saint for Paramount. However, that project has since been shelved. That take would have been directed by Dexter Fletcher, who is now working on The Offer, a scripted Paramount+ series about the making of the movie The Godfather.

　　This isn't the only major project Page has in the works with Paramount. He's also signed on to star in a live-action Dungeons & Dragons movie for the studio. For that project, he joins a cast that includes the likes of Justice Smith (Detective Pikachu) and Michelle Rodriguez (Fast 9).

　　A release date for this new take on The Saint has yet to be revealed, but given that a script is still in the works, you probably shouldn't expect it anytime soon.
