Michael Fassbender tipped to star in Bureau of Legends remake directed by George Clooney. The German-Irish actor is reportedly in discussions to take over the main role of the series.

He could reprise the role of Guillaume Debailly, alias Malotru, played, in the original and French version, by Mathieu Kassovitz. The Department will be co-produced by MTV Entertainment Studios, 101 Studios and Smoke House Pictures. Filming on this highly anticipated remake is expected to begin this spring in London.
