David Fincher will direct Tobey Maguire as Chess Wizard Bobby Fischer in Sony/Columbia Pictures’ “Pawn Sacrifice”, according to Deadline Hollywood Daily.
Fischer, who died in 2008, was the eleventh World Chess Champion. He is widely considered one of the greatest chess players of all time.
The film will tell the life story of American chess icon Bobby Fischer leading up to his historic world championship match against Boris Spassky.
The flick, which Maguire will also produce, is slated to film this Fall.
