Hollywood Reporter reports that Warner Bros. is pursuing a film based on the Spy Hunter game franchise, reigniting a project that stalled twice when Midway controlled the IP. Warner acquired the rights to Spy Hunter when it purchased Midway last year. Midway had first pursued a big-budget adaptation of the classic arcade and console game franchise, securing John Woo to helm and Dwayne The Rock Johnson to play the lead.

Anderson.  Hollywood Reporter says Warner studio has hired screenwriter Chad St. John to get the project going.  Read more at Hollywood Reporter.
