Ready To Run Again


The suits at Universal Pictures want to develop a sequel to the Martin Brest directed bounty hunter comedy "Midnight Run says The Hollywood Reporter.

In the original, Robert De Niro starred as a bounty hunter on a cross-country journey attempting to bring back his latest catch, an embezzler (Charles Grodin)

Timothy Dowling ("Role Models") will write the script for the follow-up which will see De Niro's character paired with a young comedic foil.

De Niro and Jane Rosenthal will produce the pic.

Not a major hit, the first film was critically well-received and has a strong following since it's initial release.

It's one of my faves-Chemistry between Grodin & De Niro as well as a strong script--was key...And the same will hold true for the sequel.
