I’ll admit it. I’m looking forward to Spy Hunter. Now you have to understand that on my top 5 favorite films of all time list are movies like “Life if Beautiful”, “The Godfather”, “Shawshank Redemption”… but every once in a while I like a good brainless action flick! And Spy Hunter with The Rock seems to fit that bill.
The good folks over at Dark Horizons have this for us:
The script for the Spy Hunter movie has been completed and Universal currently has it set for release next July with shooting expected to begin later this year. When asked what fans can expect, Johnson said they’ll get a “great, well-written story that’s not overly complicated, and funny. Spy Hunter will have great action, some of the set pieces that were written are absolutely mind-blowing. Stuart Beattie has done a fantastic job with the script”.
I’ve already heard quite a lot about some of the set pieces being magnificent. I still say The Rock has all the potential in the world to be the next big action star… but he needs some better projects than Doom the movie. He’s not the next Anthony Hopkins… but he could easily be the next Stallone.
