Default 20th Century Fox is remaking Commando...

Originally Posted by Coming Soon
20th Century Fox has hired David Ayer to write and direct a remake of the 1985 Arnold Schwarzenegger-starrer Commando. Erwin Stoff and John Davis will produce.

Ayer is a former Navy soldier who wrote Training Day and moved into directing with Harsh Times and Street Kings.

Deadline New York says Ayer "will put his own real-world spin on this original premise: a retired elite special forces operative sees his daughter kidnapped and is told she'll die unless he gets on a plane and kills the rival of a nasty exiled dictator. In the original, Schwarzenegger jumped off the plane before takeoff, and killed everyone involved in the kidnap plot."

Ayer's version of the character "will be less brawny, but more skilled in covert tactics and weaponry."

Why even do a remake when "retired special forces guy is blackmailed into doing a job but turns the tables on his blackmailers, lots of shooting and suspense" is already the basic premise of, at a guess, at least one movie per year since Commando came out? Hell scratch the "special forces" requirement and you can probably bump that up to 3.

Eventually you go down to one a year if you put in the daughter specific qualifier, but you still aren't breaking any new ground.

Hell, you aren't even breaking old ground, you don't even have a hammer at this point.

How many times do they jump out of a plane JUST BEFORE TAKEOFF though?

Yeah but that's hardly anything special. Anyone can jump out of a plane before takeoff. You want to see jumping out of a plane done properly, go and watch Shoot 'em Up.
