The Hollywood Reporter: Risky Biz Blog: 'Missing in Action' gets found again: "Of all the remakes of '80s action movies -- we're looking at you, 'Rambo' -- this one burrows deepest into our childhoods. MGM is working on a new take on 'Missing in Action,' that Chuck Norris vehicle in which he blazes his guns throughout Southeast Asia liberating prisoners of war (spoiler alert: He succeeds).
This version will be updated, like most of the new action reboots, to reflect current realities: The movie will be set in the current Iraq war and involve an action hero on a mission in the Middle East."

I say we finally get ole Jack to come out of the pen name closet and reveal himself to the world by writing a story where the MIA hunter turns a corner and, whoops!, finds a rabid dinosaur after him and escapes by flying in a hot air balloon and then gets eaten by a haunted hut.

Imagine. HANOI DEATHGRIP becomes BAGHDAD BALLGRAB. I'd buy it. In a New York minute.
