John Moore
Dundalk-born director John Moore is to direct The Hunters, a thriller based on Chris Kuzneski’s 2013 novel of the same name.
Deadline.com reported earlier this week that the film tells the story of an elite unit hired by a billionaire to find lost treasure.
The screenplay for the film has been adapted by Taken and The Transporter‘s Robert Mark Kamen.
Director Moore, whose other credits include A Good Day To Die Hard, Max Payne and Behind Enemy Lines, has said that the script for The Hunters reminds him “of the kind of great action movies I grew up on like Lethal Weapon, great characters and smart dialogue”.
Moore hails from the Point Road in Dundalk, where many of his family still reside.
