Steve McQueen’s Treasure-Hunt Project ‘Yucatan’ Revived: Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer Set To Pen Netflix Movie Produced By Robert Downey Jr. – The Dish


Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer has been set to write Yucatan, a movie to be produced by Robert Downey Jr based on a passion project of late actor Steve McQueen.

McQueen’s vision involved a story about a renegade salvage expert’s search for Mayan treasure in the Yucatan Peninsula with him taking the lead. Mexican writer Dunnet-Alcocer is working fresh with McQueen’s script, which was discovered years after his 1980 death as part of a collection of notebooks he left behind in a pair of trunks. Of late, Dunnet-Alcocer has been busy at work on the secret Prime Video spinoff series The Boys: Mexico, from executive producers Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernal under their La Corriente del Golfo banner.
