MISSING IN ACTION No Longer Missing In Action!!

Merrick here...
MGM & WWE are resurrecting the MISSING IN ACTION franchise. Seems they're talking about a straight-to-video thingie. I'm sure these plans will change, and this title will eventually receive a vastly more appropriate IMAX release.
The new film will be updated to reflect modern military realities and will be set during the current Iraq War. World Wrestling Entertainment, which has beefed up film development under its WWE Studios banner, will produce the new "Missing" pic along with Andrew Stevens ("Heist").
...says THIS PIECE in Hollywood Reporter. But will they have the stones to equal this?

You probably recall that the original films (MISSING IN ACTION, MISSING IN ACTION 2: THE BEGINNING, and BRADDOCK: MISSING IN ACTION III) starred Chuck Norris pre WALKER, TEXAS RANGER - a series which subsequently led to his not being cast as Red Forman in THAT 70s SHOW.

"Now, the secret of his rage can be revealed!"
