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.
