Dundalk director Moore to direct The Hunters
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.

Black & White Construction looking to complete Point Road estate
Black & White Construction Ltd have applied to Dundalk Town Council for planning permission to complete The Towers estate on the Point Road.
The unfinished estate was granted planning permission in September 2012 but was never fully completed – a fact which meant that it was exempt from the household charge in recent years.
Now though Black & White Construction are looking to complete the development with the construction of four semi-detached three bedroom homes – a slight change from the initial plans.
Due to the fact that the site is situated close to a Natura 2000 site – the Dundalk Bay Special Protection Area – a full Natura Impact Assessment has been provided with the application.
A decision on the matter is due by May 20th.
