BREAKING: John McTiernan Directing Action/Thriller After Release

Is this some stop the fucking press news or what?  It seems that John McTiernan will direct a Sabotage-esque action/thriller right after his prison release, this year.  The movie is called ‘Red Squad’ McTiernan and will get to work on it straight away, reports Variety.com.  You gotta wonder if he’s already been evening out the script.

Written by Cannon and Jorge Suarez, “Red Squad” focuses on a former DEA agent with a rogue streak and his select team of mercenaries who descend upon a Mexican border town to take out a powerful drug lord.

No other info yet, although Variety claim work begins on the movie this spring, so McTiernan could be back behind the camera almost instantly.  Forget Roller, a controversial disaster out of his hands, this should be McTiernan’s first good movie since the 1990’s.

Let us be the firs to say, welcome back, John, so glad you could make it!
