Commandoh!


Plans are underway to remake 1985 vengeful father 80's actioner Commando with a more 'grounded' and real-world approach says Deadline New York.

In the original Arnold Schwarzenegger played John Matrix, a retired special forces Colonel who learns that Bennett, a former disgraced member of his unit is still alive and has been killing off Matrix's former colleagues.

Bennett, now working for a warlord names Arius, kidnaps Matrix's daughter (Alyssa Milano) as leverage to get him to lead Arius' military coup of Val Verde. Matrix soon goes on a one-man rampage to rescue his daughter and essentially kills Arius' entire private army along the way.

David Ayer (Harsh Times Training Day Street Kings.) has been tapped to write and direct the new update,

Erwin Stoff and John Davis will produce.

No word on production start date or potential release date,
