According to Variety, hes now made a deal to direct Motorcade for DreamWorks. The plot for the high concept thriller finds a disgraced Secret Service agent in the right place at the right time when terrorists attack the US Presidents motorcade in Los Angeles. Though it sounds like someone watched Olympus Has Fallen and thought, hhhm I wonder if we could do that But in a car! Motorcade has actually been stalled in development for years, going through various different versions since at least 2008. At one point, Tom Cruise was attached to star, and Ryan Reynolds briefly flirted with the idea back in 2009. But producers Walter Parkes and Laurie MacDonald have stayed the course and now here we are, with Billy Ray writing the most recent draft of the script and Carnahan attached to call the shots. Given the motorized madness of Stretch and his experience with OTT action on films such as Smokin Aces and The A-Team, he seems like someone who can bring his own tough to the idea.).
