Howard's Imagine partner Brian Grazer will produce, while Brian Helgeland ("Man on Fire," "Mystic River") will pen the script, says Variety.

"Serpent" originated at Universal and Imagine acquired a script by Hans Beimler and Robert Wolfe that focused on how the Spanish conqueror Hernando Cortez plundered the Aztec nation aided by an Aztec princess-turned-slave.
