Commando Remake Coming?


I've heard this before somewhere but 20th Century Fox is looking to remake the classic Arnold Schwarzenegger action flick Commando. Now Deadline reports Fox is moving forward with director David Ayer. He is responsible for directing the passable films Harsh Times and Street Kings also writing Training Day. His work isn't great but hopefully with enough action scenes, a decent cast, budget and script it could be interesting. Producers John Davis (Predator) and Erwin Stoff (Matrix) will be also involved. This seems like another possible contender to be setup at Robert Rodriguez's Troublemaker Studios. Which recently made Predators for 20th Century Fox and seems like it could be very entertaining.

“He will put his own real-world spin on this original premise: a retired elite special forces operative sees his daughter kidnapped and is told she’ll die unless he gets on a plane and kills the rival of a nasty exiled dictator. Ayer’s protagonist will be less brawny, but more skilled in covert tactics and weaponry.”
