It won't be the first time that Sam has worked with Sheldon, as he is also the scribe behind the actor's currently shelved blockbuster project, Everest. The film that was set to also star Ewan McGregor and Mark Strong was put on hold earlier this year, according to the actor.
Speaking on Zoe Ball's Radio 2 show back in February, Sam said that pre-production had been put on an indefinite pause for an undisclosed reason.
