Renny Harlin, who still owns one of the best onscreen kills ever as far as I'm concerned...

...is gearing up to do a movie revolving around the recent conflict between Russia and Georgia (not the one that's next to Alabama - although that would be interesting, too).

Harlin said the plot specifics are being kept under wraps for security reasons, but the drama involves an American journalist and his cameraman who get caught in the crossfire in Georgia and then have to deal with their obligation to be impartial journalists.

...explains THIS piece in Variety.

I've always wanted to see Harlin's ultra-violent cut of DIE HARD 2; the film had to be edited to an R rating, which has nothing to do with his new project other than I'm reminded of the matter whenever I see or hear Renny's name.
