Director John Moore (A Good Day To Die Hard) is attached to direct a $30 million action film called The Englishman. The screenplay – written by William Wisher (Terminator 2) – is based on Will Scully’s book, Once a Pilgrim. There are currently no stars attached, but filming is scheduled to shoot early next year, so we should hear something soon.

According to Collider, the story follows a mercenary who gets caught up in a military coup in Africa: “Trapped in a hotel together with thousands of innocent civilians and completely surrounded by hostile rebels, he single-handedly takes on the enemy until he can get all the civilians safely evacuated.”

What’s interesting is The Englishman will be shot in real-time (whoopty f–king doo!). What’s even more interesting is the fact that John Moore is still employed after making A Good Day To Die Hard, one of worst action movies of all time. Moore seriously makes Len Wiseman (Live Free or DIe Hard) look like Stanley Kubrick.

    So it’s an unofficial remake of Red Scorpion? 🙂
