Los Angeles, March 26 (IANS) Actor Michael B. Jordan will produce and star in a "Methuselah" movie for Warner Bros., based on the Biblical story of a man who lived to be 969 years old.

Jordan will produce the film along with David Heyman and Jeffrey Clifford, reports variety.com.

Warner Bros. has been developing the project for many years with Will Smith and Tom Cruise interested in the project. Zach Dean wrote an early script after coming on to the project in 2014. The most recent draft was written by Tony Gilroy.

Methuselah is referenced in the Book of Genesis as the son of Enoch, who lived to be 365 years old. The scripts have focused on Methuselah's survival skills.
