Chatting with Empire Online to promote "Flight of the Phoenix" in the UK, Director John Moore spoke about his mooted next project, the somewhat unusual project entitled "The Last Mission": "I'm in extensively advanced talks. It's a good story about a bloke who has to rescue his daughter when she's kidnapped in the Philippines. But he's a Vietnam-era Navy Seal, and he realises that the US Government won't do anything because they want to see her beheaded on Al-Jazeera, 'cos it's good for business, so he has to go 'fuck this'." And by 'fuck this', Moore means our hero recruits his former Vietnam buddies, and heads on off to the jungle to kick some ass and get his daughter back". If that sounds like the 80's Gene Hackman flick "Uncommon Valour", well you're right - "We have the same writer. In a stunning display of Hollywood originality, we got Joe Gayton to have a pop at the screenplay. I'd love to do it. If Clint Eastwood wanted to do it, yeah, that would make it happen. It would just ratchet it up a level. But it's likely to be next". Thanks to 'Gaffer'.
