News > "Spy Hunter" Needs Repairs


Paul W.S. Anderson, who is known for directing Resident Evil and Alien Vs. Predator, seems to have been removed from the big screen version of the video game adaptation Spy Hunter. Dwayne Johnson's been attached to the movie for a long time now, but it seems that nothing is for certain about the film any more.

Latino Review has reported that it appears Anderson is not doing the film, and that he's off the project.

During Comic-Con, Anderson talked about his involvement with Death Race, and gave the following statement:

"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."

Now, with that being said, it appears Anderson has no intention of working on any other car-action movies, which would support the claim that he's off Spy Hunter.
