I guess he is never coming back


Too bad he was one of my favorite directors and and made some of my favorite films. Die Hard, Predator, The Hunt for Red October were excellent.

he's still got the chops. this ghost recon commercial with the cat should be it's own movie.

Really? That’s awesome, he gets no credit though. I even liked Last Action Hero.

it was good, like a love letter to joel silver films, some great scenes

Sounds like he’s got some stuff in production from this recent interview with the man himself: https://youtu.be/IbnVZJO8eRc

Thank you for this. I am hopeful now.I also liked Medicine Man and The 13th Warrior.

You might need to reign in that hope. The insane Covid restrictions seem to have taken any upcoming projects he might have had off the boil:

Speaking of scummy people, this former A+ list director (John McTierman) thought he was going to finally get a credited gig, but he is still blacklisted. Yes, he works, but under an assumed name. There is also a buzz around town that you are not supposed to have sex with him without protection or you will get something long lasting.

Fucking hell, agcwebpages.com looks like it was made in 1995 and it still gets updated! Hilarious.

Yes it has that GeoCities vibe. I kind of gave up reading it after realising a lot of it (not all) is completely made up.

I was half expecting to hear a midi file play and see a crude animated gif to float down the page.
