UFO: The Movie

Breck Eisner, director of The Crazies, has signed on to direct the remake of Escape from New York, set up with producer Neal H. Moritz’s Original Films. They will be sticking with Allan Loeb’s draft, which “tries to mix an origin story for anti-hero Snake Plissken and merge it with the story of the 1981 original.”

Very cool news.

Neil Marshall Tapped to Direct The Professionals Remake



Neil Marshall (The Descent, Doomsday) has revealed he will direct a film adaptation of classic late 70's British TV cop series The Professionals in an interview with Empire magazine.

The hard-hitting action series followed CI5, a law enforcement department allowed to use any (and invariably illegal) means to solve serious crimes that didn't fall under the purview of the secret service or military.

Martin Shaw and Lewis Collins played the two best agents - a hotheaded but compassionate ex-detective constable, and a patient but ruthless ex-SAS mercenary. Together they tackled terrorists, hitmen, racist groups, and espionage suspects.

Marshall says he wants to contemporise this buddy cop duo: "They deal with anti-terrorism, assassinations, political intrigue. The slogan, or kind of the tagline for the film, is 'Fight fire with fire' and that was their whole thing... Primarily, its going to be an exciting movie, but there's an inherent political angle on the story. We want to contemporise it but keep everything that made the original great, just turn it into a real wham-bam rip-roaring adventure movie."

A writer is presently at work on a script. Marshall is also attached to the Sam Raimi-produced 3D splatter film Burst.

Commando
It seems that a 1985 Arnold Schwarzenegger classic is getting the reboot treatment. Deadline New York is reporting that Fox has set up a remake of Commando.

The studio has set David Ayer (Training Day, Street Kings) to write and direct the new film based off the 1984 Commando film and it was said he will put a "real-world spin" on the premise. It was said that Ayer's lead character won't have the brawn that Arnold Schwarzenegger had in the original film, but will be more skilled in covert arts and weaponry.

No production schedule was released for the remake.
