Is a new action hero born?
Sharon Swart reports for Variety from Cannes:
John McTiernan will helm "Run," a $30 million action-thriller to star Karl Urban (pictured,"The Lord of the Rings," "The Bourne Ultimatum").
Urban plays an Interpol agent who, while pursuing a murder suspect, uncovers a fraud conspiracy. The actioner's script reportedly has 100 pages of car chases. Pic will start lensing in August and post in London.
Producers are Michael Pierce and Mark Williams; exec producer is Future Films topper Stephen Margolis...
Wow! 100 pages of car chases! McTiernan is up to the challenge...As for Urban...Sure, he's already had quite a career...I wonder though: Will this film do for him what Die Hard did for Bruce Willis?
