Peter Dinklage & Nicola Peltz in talks for The Deep Blue Good-by

Peter Dinklage and Nicola Peltz are in negotiations to join Christian Bale and Rosamund Pike in “The Deep Blue Good-by”.

The film is adapted from John D. MacDonald’s mystery series about Travis McGee, a free-wheeling bachelor living on a house boat, acting as a self-proclaimed “salvage consultant.”

Bale plays McGee in the film which will see him on the trail of stolen sapphires which lead to a sadistic torturer.

Dinklage will play a mathematician who made a fortune thanks to an app and ends up as McGee’s sidekick.

Peltz will play a woman who acts older than she is, knows more about the sapphires than she lets on, hires McGee to find them and ends up on the wrong side of the torturer.

James Mangold will direct.

The news come from The Hollywood Reporter.
