Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with info on a political thriller being made over at Paramount called SHOOTER. Antoine Fuqua (TRAINING DAY) is helming the flick, an adaptation of the 1993 Stephen Hunter novel POINT OF IMPACT, with Marky Mark Wahlberg starring as a marksman who has quit the game after he caused the death of an innocent only to be drawn back in under the guise of preventing a political assassination. Of course there is backstabbing, frame-ups and lotsa suspense involved. Jonathan "DEVIL'S ADVOCATE" Lempkin is scripting and a June start date is being eyeballed.

Lotsa political flicks being made these days. This one sounds pretty typical of the genre, but it could be a fun flick. What say you?
