Revolution Studios has hired Michael Schiffer ("Crimson Tide") to write the military action thriller "First Class".
Set against the backdrop of the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md., "First Class" revolves around a close-knit group of Navy first class midshipmen who discover an illegal operation under the military's radar in a nearby port-of-call. Together, they must use their training and leadership skills to put a stop to it, risking their careers and lives in the process.
Schiffer most recently co-wrote "The Four Feathers" with Hossein Amini for Paramount and Miramax. His other credits include "The Peacemaker", "Lean on Me" and "Colors". He's also developing a surfing tale set in Hawaii about a father and son with director David Mickey Evans ("First Kid", "The Sandlot").
