Pine has recently been tipped to breathe new life into the iconic Simon Templar in a remake of The Saint.
It was reported in April that he is in negotiations to headline Paramount’s new version of The Saint to be directed by Rocketman helmer Dexter Fletcher.
The character, created in the 1920s, by novelist Leslie Charteris was last played on the big screen by Val Kilmer in 1997.
Before that, Roger Moore starred as Templar in a long-running British TV series from 1962 to 1969.
