“24†vet Jon Cassar will make his feature directorial debut on “Motorcadeâ€, a project that at one time had the interest of Tom Cruise (who instead decided to do “Wichita†instead).
It’s likely Ryan Reynolds will now headline the actioner, though he’s yet to officially say yay or nay, according to Variety.
Should Reynolds offer the film his digital handshake, the “X-Men Origins : Wolverine†star would play a disgraced Secret Service agent who happens to be in the wrong place at the right time when the U.S. president is kidnapped in New York.
Jon Cassar was the co-executive producer and a director on TV hit “24â€. He left the show last season to pursue a feature career.
Billy Ray continues to work on a script that was originated by Hans Bauer and Craig Mitchell.
The drama has been a priority for DreamWorks and was one of the projects Tom Cruise seriously considered when “Live Free or Die Hard” helmer Len Wiseman was attached.
