Foreign Concept Entertainment is developing “The Ideal Man,” a thriller centered on Jim Thompson — the former CIA operative who built one of Thailand’s most recognized lifestyle brands before vanishing without explanation in 1967.

The script is set during the Vietnam War, with the story hinging on Thompson’s suspicious disappearance at the conflict’s height and the range of suspects implicated in the case.
