Via Variety:
Kimberly Peirce has been tapped to helm "The Knife" for Universal which Brian Grazer will produce through his Imagine Entertainment Banner.
Pic is based on the true story of a rookie gang-banger trying to make it out of his gang lifestyle and hot head F.B.I. Agent who team up to infiltrate the organization of a Los Angeles gang leader. Vineet Dewan penned the script.
Film is still in the early pre-production stages so no start date has been set for lensing.
Peirce has been particular in what projects she taken since directing her indie hit "Boys Don't Cry" with Hilary Swank.
Since directing 'Boys,' her only other feature directing credit is the Iraq War pic "Stop Loss" with Ryan Phillippe and Channing Tatum.
Grazer most recently produced "The Dilemma" that was directed by his Imagine co-partner Ron Howard.
Peirce is repped by CAA and Jackoway Tyerman Wertheimer Austen Mandelbaum Morris & Klein.
Dewan is repped by UTA and Gang, Tyre, Ramer & Brown.
