"Die Hard" and "Predator" Director John McTiernan is set to helm "Deadly Exchange," the first directing deal he's inked since pleading guilty in the Anthony Pellicano wiretapping scandal reports Variety.
"Deadly Exchange," from a script by Ron Shusett and Ian Rabin, revolves around a terrorist who goes undetected as he hunts down the FBI agent who assassinated his father 10 years earlier.
Film Bridge International is financing and repping worldwide rights which sold quickly at the recent Cannes Film Festival. Shooting begins later this summer in Shreveport, Louisiana.
McTiernan pleaded guilty in April to charges that he lied to FBI agents, and his plea agreement with prosecutors signaled he was cooperating with the U.S. Attorney's Office and the FBI in the investigation.
