Scribe turned filmmaker David Koepp ("Stir of Echoes," "Ghost Town") has co-written and will direct "Premium Rush" for Sony Pictures says Variety. John Kamps also penned the story which centers on a 20-something New York City bike messenger who picks up an envelope at Columbia University. A dirty cop is desperate to get his hands on the envelope and so begins some William Friedkin-inspired elaborate chases as he pursues the bike messenger throughout the city. Gavin Polone is producing.
