Deadline reports that Warner Bros. have finally found a director for the big screen adaptation of Spy Hunter. Ruben Fleischer, who recently helmed Gangster Squad, will take on the video adaptation for the studio working on a script from Carter Blanchard. While Fleischer has previously tackled Zombieland and 30 Minutes Or Less, Blanchard is best known only for Glimmer, a spec script that sold to DreamWorks and has Ringan Ledwidge (Gone) directing. Are you excited about this news?

OK so a WB version of James Bond...hmmm focus on your super hero properties they'll probably make more $$$ if done right. I have absolutely no interest in watching a spy hunter movie I'd rather see a live action space ace or dragons lair.

I feel like if they wanted Dwayne to play his part from the video game he would be down. He obviously doesn't turn down many roles.

So no Zombieland 2?

This was going to happen like 10 years ago starring The Rock. They eventually decided to just make a video game instead.

I remember when John Woo was going to direct and The Rock was going to star.

If they do this right, it could cool.

@fettastic That was actually a movie tie-in game, but the movie ended up being cancelled. I rented it. It was alright.

@SaxoWolf, for some reason, the guy on the right side of the poster you got looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger while the left dude looks like a beefed up Robert Patrick.

@LOL You're right :)
