Intermedia, QED International and Action Concept have signed Jan De Bont to direct STOPPING POWER.

The story centers on a single father on vacation with his daughter and girlfriend who suddenly finds himself at the center of a high-speed car chase after his daughter is kidnapped by a criminal who has stolen their RV. The father is forced to act as a decoy in the getaway car, leading the police across the city.

Richard Shepard is rewriting Eric Red's original script. Filming will begin this September.

Another car chase movie. Well, at least stint drivers in Hollywood should be making good money these days. I like the film title, although at first I thought it was a new Steven Segal movie.

What happened to "meg" ? I am more interested in seeing that then another predictable car chase movie.

This plot sounds like the making of a reasonable movie, as long as nothing stupid gets thrown in... like the father is an "ex-special ops marine" with "training in anti-terrorism" and knows every form of martial arts imaginable.

Who doesn't love a good car chase, but I hope there is more to the movie than this, and how is he forced to do this?
