I was thinking the same thing, Calibur. I thought it was a little soon to remake something from 2006.
This sounds like a Bond/Bourne clone. Not sure if there's enough there to drag me out of my recliner.
Espionage, intrigue, something or other. We're sure you like something in there. If you do, maybe you like the fact that Hyde Park has bought the rights to Andy McNab's Nick Stone espionage novels. The first movie will be titled Echelon and based on McNab's novel Firewall, the third of 12 books in the series.
Casting agent Bonnie Timmerman, who acquired the rights to the series in mid-1990s, is producing alongside Hyde Park's Ashok Amritraj. McNab and John Connor, who wrote the script together, are exec producing along with Imagenation's Mohamed Khalaf Al-Mazrouei and Edward Borgerding.
Plot Concept: The Russians were serious players. If things didn't go as planned, Sergei said, I'd be lucky to be shot dead in the hotel lobby. If they captured me, I'd be taken to some remote bit of wasteland and have my stomach slit open. They'd pull my lungs out and then leave me to watch them flop around on my chest like a couple of freshly caught mullet for the thirty minutes it would take me to die. These things happen, he had explained, when you mess with the main men in Russian Organized Crime. But I didn't have a choice...' Helsinki, December 1999. Nick Stone, ex-SAS, now a 'K' working for British Intelligence on deniable operations, is tough, resourceful, ruthless, highly trained - and desperately in need of cash... Offered the lucrative freelance job of kidnapping a mafia warlord and delivering him to St Petersburg, it seems to Stone that his problems are over. In fact, they are only just beginning. Stone enters the bleak underworld of the former Soviet republic of Estonia, where unknown aggressors stalk the bitter landscape, and he soon finds himself caught between implacable enemies. For Russia has embarked upon a concerted cyber-espionage offensive, hacking into some of the West's most sensitive military secrets. American and British intelligence agencies are determined to thwart them. And the mafia are waiting in the wings with their own chillingly brutal solution...

I like spy thrillers, so there must be something in this movie that's of intrest.
And I also thought they were talking about the harrison ford movie from a few years ago. Good thing they're going with a different title.
Looks good. I actaully watched the end of Firewall this past weekend. How odd...
i was kinda worried for a second that they were going to do a remake of a bad harrison ford movie- but at any rate this looks interesting
