Last we heard about Motorcade, Tom Cruise was set to star in the Len Wiseman-directed thriller - but one thing that never changes in Hollywood is the fact that things change. So now 24's Jon Cassar is directing and studio DreamWorks is chasing Ryan Reynolds to star. Of course, Reynolds is a bit busy right now gearing up for The Green Lantern, which starts shooting in the spring, but the hope is that this film will begin filming next summer or autumn, giving him time to do both. The story focuses on a disgraced Secret Service agent who happens to be in the right place at the right time to help when the US President is kidnapped in New York. Billy Ray (2009's State of Play, Flightplan) is currently rewriting the script, from Hans Bauer and Craig Mitchell's (The Flock) original. What's the betting that, if Reynolds is cast, a scene where his shirt suddenly falls off magically gets included?

RE: Ryan Reynolds To Board Motorcade?
's the betting that, if Reynolds is cast, a scene where his shirt suddenly falls off magically gets included? h, I'm sure at some stage there'll be an injury that results in someone losing blood, and Reynolds the hero will have to grab the nearest piece of material to make a tourniquet. And if that nearest piece of material happens to be the shirt off his back....well, who are we to complain? ... Read More Acho About me

I can't believe Tom Cruise would ever want to work with someone like Wiseman in the first place. He's not exactly an intelligent filmmaker is Die Hard 4 is anything to go by... ... Read More Jenzy About me
