With Speed and Twister, Jan De Bont became the toast of Hollywood, but with Speed 2, The Haunting and Tomb Raider 2, he almost as quickly got dumped on the scrap heap. He hasn’t made a film since Lara Croft’s last adventure, but now the Dutch filmmaker is planning a return, signing on to helm a remake of the 1961 crime thriller Five Minutes to Live.

According to Deadline, Raul Inglis is writing the screenplay, which follows two men who attempt to rob a bank by unconventional methods. One man holds the bank manager’s wife hostage, while the other tells the manager his wife only has five minutes to live unless he transfers money to their account. Musician Johnny Cash starred in the original Five Minutes to Live, which also featured a very young Ron Howard.

No production schedule was given for Five Minutes to Live, but it probably won’t be too far off as the plan is to start casting immediately.
