So after
Mortal Kombat,
Resident Evil and
Alien vs. Predator, which video game is next on the list for hack director
Paul W.S. Anderson? According to
Variety it's
Spy Hunter. Yes that video game adaptation that
The Rock has been attached to for the last five years. It's not yet known if the actor is wanted by the studio for the film.
John Woo was originally attached to helm the pic, in 2004, that will introduce the never-seen spy hunter who works for a secret government agency. He uses the gadget-packed Interceptor (that can transform from a car into a motorcycle, jet ski and submarine) to hunt down agents and thwart a shadowy terrorist org known as Nostra.
Now I've never played the Midway game Spy Hunter but apparently it's been around since the 80's. Of course Anderson's next film is
Death Race 2000 with
The Long Good Friday also on his upcoming slab. Thankfully I have no vested interest in Spy Hunter, so he can do whatever he likes with it, however the other two movies he has upcoming are different matters entirely.
