Writer Jonathan Hensleigh and producer Jerry Bruckheimer are joining together again for a new action pitch called NINE LIVES, a pitch bought by Disney. Variety is reporting the duo behind The Rock, Armageddon, Con Air, Gone in 60 Seconds feel its time to bring back straight summer action fare after taking some years off. As you know Bruckheimer split to oversee the Pirates trilogy and various other properties like CSI while Hensleigh went on to direct The Punisher and Welcome to the Jungle.
So what's this fifth film between the pair going to center on?
Plot Concept: The story centers around a Manhattan detective called Nine Lives because of the number of shootings he has survived while on duty.
I hope Hensleigh doesn't direct though, The PUnisher?, come on!
