Mallick threw out Oliver Stone's name in a pre-release Middle Men interview, but other than that, there is no evidence I have seen that Oliver Stone and Chris Mallick have any project under development - it appears to me more delusional Mallick hype:

Who are some of your favorite filmmakers working today? What would be your dream project to work on?
ChrisMallick: I?m a huge Scorcese fan, I?m a big Paul Thomas Anderson fan, I?m a big Cohen Brothers fan, and those are all sort of all over the board, big Oliver Stone fan. I have a project in discussion with Oliver Stone after his documentary was at the Santa Barbara Film Festival. Middle Men closed the festival and a friend of his whose a friend of ours got him to stay and watch our film on closing night. I was thrilled he was even in the audience but when I got back stage to the green room, he was there waiting for me and we talked for probably an hour and half that night. Two days later we talked for a couple of more hours, he came over to my house for a party, we had a couple of meetings and we found a project that I?m not really allowed to talk about but in about a year or so we?ll do together hopefully.
The strength of Middle Men in many areas is important but when a filmmaker like Oliver Stone is really moved by a film and says, ?Shit, this is the movie I wish I had made? or Paul Thomas Anderson, who came to a screening, and said it was the best movie he had seen in five years. Those are the people that I admire and to be able to have even a chance to even think about working them is huge to me. It?s surreal but I guess that?s how it happens if it happens and I?m embracing that and trying to stay and definitely will stay true to a particular way of producing films and that?s do it the way that it was done when this industry was great and built upon the strength of a picture as opposed to the number of special effects.

Mallick is the definition of delusional...
