The director behind End of Watch and Suicide Squad, David Ayer has a new project lined up. The director is in negotiations to write and direct a remake of The Dirty Dozen for Warner Bros.
The original Dirty Dozen was the
1967 action movie that told of 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.
The new film will replace the World War II backdrop for a more contemporary feel.
