Quelle: THR.comMissing in Action" is being discovered again.
The Chuck Norris Vietnam pic is being developed as a co-production by MGM and the WWE primarily for home video. Jeremy Passmore, who also penned the story for MGM's "Red Dawn" theatrical remake, is on board to write the script with partner Andre Fabrizio.
The original "Missing in Action" centered on Col. James Braddock (Norris), a POW of the Viet Cong who escapes Southeast Asia and heads back to liberate other U.S. captives. Two other pics were released after MGM's 1984 hit, including a prequel and a sequel, during the next four years.
The new film will be updated to reflect modern military realities and will be set during the current Iraq War. World Wrestling Entertainment, which has beefed up film development under its WWE Studios banner, will produce the new "Missing" pic along with Andrew Stevens ("Heist"). WWE is behind the upcoming Fox Atomic release "12 Rounds," starring pro wrestler John Cena.
The "Missing" project is one of three deals for the suddenly hot Passmore and Fabrizio, who are repped by Paradigm, Adam Goldworm's new banner Aperture Entertainment and lawyer Rob Szymanski

Der ist doch ziemlich in Ordnung. Klassische 80er Kost, neu produziert.Joker6686 hat geschrieben:Vorallem nicht mehr von WWE....haben schon Behind Enemy Lines Colombia in den Sand gesetzt.
Ein MIA-Remake halte ich aber schon deswegen für schwachsinnig, da mit dem Fehlen von Chuck Norris und der langjährigen Gefangenschaft des Protagonisten sowie der Verlagerung des Schauplatzes nach Irak quasi alles, was das Original irgendwie von anderen Genrevertretern abhob, wegfällt.
