Midnight Shift

Charles Grodin and Martin Brest may return for the Untitled Midnight Run Sequel says Deadline,

Grodin and Brest are "being courted to return," to work on the sequel Brest (who's been in hiding since 2003's bomb-tastic Gigli) directed the first Midnight Run

Grodin has only appeared in one film (The Ex) since 1994 "I've been led to believe by someone I won't name that they will ask me and I will consider it," Grodin told the site.

"I just turned down the new Muppet movie [The Greatest Muppet Movie Ever Made]. I was in The Great Muppet Caper and I think they are bringing back those of us still alive for a reprise. Jim Henson was dear to me but I'm not flying 6000 miles to Los Angeles to work one day."

Timothy Dowling (Role Models) is signed on to write the Run 2 screenplay-- and originally the plan was for him to just bring back Robert De Niro's bounty hunter character, who would be chasing the son of Grodin's character.
