The Destroyer - Shane Black to Direct.

THE DESTROYER is based on the series of paperback novels in which Newark cop Remo Williams is framed, sentenced to death, then resurrected following a botched execution. The reason? To serve as enforcement arm for CURE, a top-secret, extra-Constitutional arm of the U.S. government. Along with a seemingly ageless – and often hilarious – Asian assassin known only as Chiun, Williams sets out to "clean up" and take out those who oppose America’s interests. The surprisingly-heartfelt stories combine edgy old-school suspense with Eastern mysticism to produce unique, rapid-fire capers full of slick banter, social satire, and sudden violence.

I remember growing up, my Dad always had a stack of these books on the table next to his bed. Now, I wanna read them. I remember really liking Remo Williams when it came out. I can't wait for this new interpretation.

I never read the books, but loved the film with Fred Ward. I was always bummed it didn't do better so they could have made more of them. I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with the series now. I like Shane Black so that's a good start, plus it will take place at Christmas.

It's nice to see this property getting some attention, but I want Black to finish Doc Savage first.
