A shot glass of casting titbits to wash down your breakfast with
General Commander
The eternally-busy Steven Seagal is breaking for films for a while – and when I say a while, I probably do mean a few weeks – to shoot a new series.
The Manila Times (via Manly Movie) says : In General Commander, Steven plays the role of former CIA agent Jake Alexander who is out to bring to justice the person responsible for the death of a friend and colleague. The fellow CIA agent was a vital member of his Alexander’s team but killed during a sling operation in Southeast Asia. After being told he cannot pursue plans to find the person who killed his friend, Alexander and his crew resign from the organization and form a rogue security unit funded by a rich friend.
The 12-episode series will reportedly shoot in various locales around the globe.

Shot back to back with “Escape Plan 2”, the theeequel also stars Dave Bautista and Devon Sawa.
