David Ayer (“Suicide Squad”) is in talks to direct a remake of the classic action film “The Dirty Dozen”.
“X-Men” alum Simon Kinberg will produce the new film, which is set up at Warner Bros.
The original 1967 film fixed on a group of Army convicts — the worst of the worst — who are coerced into a mission to take out Nazi officials in a heavily guarded chateau in exchange for their freedom. The film, which starred Lee Marvin, Ernest Borgnine, Charlies Bronson and Telly Savalas, among a host of others, set the mold for future “bad guys on a suicide mission” films.
While the new film will be a contemporary story it will not replace the WWII setting.
