Rob Cohen’s attempt to get more serious with Alex Cross didn’t turn out particularly well, so it seems the xXx, Fast & The Furious and The Mummy 3 director is heading back to lighter fare with Crash Bandits, according to THR.
The film is about two rival treasure hunters who specialise in salvaging plane wreckage. When they hear about the Holy Grail of plane wrecks in the Amazon, the set off on a race to see who can get there first. Michael Stokes wrote the original script, although Rob Cohen will perform a rewrite.
The project has been around for a while as it was previously in the works with John McTiernan attached to direct and Hayden Christensen set to star. However with McTiernan having major legal troubles over allegations of lying to the FBI, that fell apart.
