Mitch Rapp (Dylan O’Brien) is just a normal guy until his world is turned upside down when terrorists storm a beach he’s on, shooting him and kill his fiancée. After that he becomes obsessed with hunting down the bad guys and making them pay. Initially he tries to do this by himself, until he’s pulled into a CIA programme and trained by Stan Hurley (Michael Keaton) to be able to go into the field and take the terrorists down.

He gets pulled into something deeper and potentially even deadly when an investigation into some seemingly random attacks leads them to a mysterious operative. Even worse, that operative may have a nuclear bomb. [Read more…]

First Look At Dylan O’Brien Playing Mitch Rapp In American Assassin

September 13, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

american-assassin-dylan-obrienDylan O’Brien has had a tough year. He was seriously injured on the set of The Maze Runner follow-up, The Death Cure, which resulted in a lengthy hospital stay and recuperation. However, it hasn’t stopped his star rising, as along with the Maze Runner movies and TV’s Teen Wolf, he’s taking on the lead in American Assassin, which may end up becoming a franchise.

The first image from the movie has now been released, featuring OBrien as Mitch Rapp.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Two decades after the Cold War, Islamic terrorism is on the rise, and CIA Operations Director Thomas Stansfield forms a new group of clandestine operatives—men who do not exist—to meet this burgeoning threat abroad before it reaches America’s shores. Stansfield’s protégée, Irene Kennedy, finds the ideal candidate in the wake of the Pan Am Lockerbie terrorist attack. Among the thousands grieving the victims is Mitch Rapp, a gifted college athlete, who wants only one thing: retribution. Six months of intense training prepares him to devastate the enemy with brutal efficiency, leaving a trail of bodies from Istanbul and across Europe, to Beirut. But there, the American assassin will need every ounce of skill and cunning to survive the war-ravaged city and its deadly terrorist factions.’

Michael Keaton, Taylor Kitsch, and Sanaa Lathan also star, with Michael Cuestra directing. The film, based on Vince Flynn’s Mitch Rapp novels, will be in cinemas next year.

American Assassin Offers Chris Hemsworth A $10 Million Payday

October 11, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

CBS Films is very keen to get Thor star Chris Hemsworth to star in their adaptation American Assassin, as they’ve offered him a whopping $10 million to take the gig, according to Deadline. It isn’t known if the actor plans on accepting the offer at this time.

The action-thriller is based on Vince Flynn’s novel, which is about Mitch Rapp (the role Chris Hemsworth is being eyed for). The story follows his transition from a college athlete to a world-class operative for the CIA, who specialises in hunting terrorists, joining the agency after his girlfriend died in a terrorist attack. The book is actually the 11th in Vince Flynn’s series, although this is a prequel that will serve as Rapp’s origin story.

Last month Bruce Willis started talks to play Rapp’s CIA mentor, but it’s not clear if he’s signed on yet. Jeffrey Nachmanoff is directing from a screenplay by Mike Finch, who took over the writing duties from EdZwick and Marshall Herskovitz.

It isn’t known when production will begin, but there may be some scheduling problems if Chris Hemsworth does sign on. He is currently shooting Thor: The Dark World, and is expected to move right from that to Steven Spielberg’s Robopocalypse. There is also The Avengers 2 looming in the distance.

Bruce Willis Up For American Assassin

September 7, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Bruce Willis is in talks to join the cast of American Assassin for director Jeffrey Nachmanoff, according to Variety. The film will be adapted from the Vince Flynn novel of the same name, which centres on Mitch Rapp, a young man who joins the CIA after his girlfriend dies in a terrorist attack.

Bruce Willis will play a CIA agent who mentors Rapp. The book is the 11th in Vince Flynn’s Mitch Rapp series, although this story goes back to the beginning, showing how he first became involved with the covert agency.

Jeffrey Nachmanoff is directing from a screenplay by Mike Finch. We reported in February that he is taking over from Edward Zwick, who adapted the book with Marshall Herskovitz. Shooting is scheduled to begin in the autumn of 2013, so they’re certainly planning ahead by getting Willis now.
