Freeman Joins Air Force One Style Actioner

Focus Features has picked up Down  To A Sunless Sea, from a script by writer David Gleeson.  That’s according to Deadline, who also say that the movie is going to be ‘in vein of Air Force One‘.  Morgan Freeman is in talks to play one of the leads in the movie.

Bruce Cohen and Revelations — Freeman and Lori McCreary’s company — are producing.

Maybe this is a good time to re-visit Air Force One.  What a manly movie that was, with scintilating dialogue such as ‘get off my plane’.  I expect though that Morgan Freeman is quite literally too old for this shit and is probably doing his usual role of wise elder.
