Paul W.S. Anderson and That Spy Hunter Movie

A film based on the video game Spy Hunter has been in the works for a couple of years now with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson set to star. The last bit of news about the project was that Paul W.S. Anderson was set to direct the film and that was about a year ago. So where is Spy Hunter now? Check out the update inside.

LatinoReview spoke with Paul W.S. Anderson during Comic Con about Death Race and asked this question about Spy Hunter:

Latino Review: Does this (movie) prepare you to do another [car film] like Spy Hunter?

Anderson: I had some what fun making this movie and I firmly believe this is the best, most spectacular car action I've ever seen in a film, I don’t know if I’ll ever do another car movie after this, because I really feel like we pushed it to the max and the only other car movie I’ll do is maybe a sequel to this, knock on wood, if this movie does well enough to deserve that, I really think we’ve kind of raised the bar when it comes to car action….we’ve done everything practical, we’ve done spectacular stunts, we’ve kept it R rated, really hard, we’ve had the actors do a lot of their own driving, so you know, I think we’ve really maxed our car movie, so I think we’ve laid down a challenge to any one else, I think we’re now the movie to beat.

Latino Review also report that they have been told from people who are close to the project that Anderson is off the project all together.

Well honestly a movie without Anderson at the helm is a good thing in my book but will it ever get made? Maybe Uwe Boll can bring it to life! What do you guys think?
