'Wardogs' unleashed
Could Schwarzenegger, Stallone and Willis unite for a new action flick?
Jun 20 2006
A new action flick could be set to bring some of the genre's biggest names together for the first time on screen.
Andrew Grossman's 'Wardogs' was written when he and producer Andrew Lazar were discussing the idea of putting action legends from the 1980s and '90s together in one film.
Grossman concocted a story about four Vietnam vets going back into action when their former leader goes missing in Turkey, and this week Regency Enterprises picked up the rights.
There's no word yet regarding casting, though if they are going for the big guns, the dream ensemble would doubtless involve Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis and the governor himself, Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Or for a cut-price version, we'd suggest Steven Seagal, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Chuck Norris, and 'Action Jackson' himself, Carl Weathers.
