Danny Trejo (Machete) and Stephen Lang (Avatar) are in negotiations to join Gina Carano (Haywire) in a new action thriller called In the Blood. The movie is being directed by John Stockwell from a script witten by Bennett Yellin and James Robert Johnston and then polished by Sean Finnegan and Gregg Parker.
The movie was set up for Mma champion Carano, and the story centers "on a wife whose husband disappears while they are vacationing in the Caribbean. The grieving wife passionately and recklessly pursues the men she believes kidnapped and killed him." So it's like Taken, but the badass character is a woman. According to THR, Lang will play Carano’s father, "who raised her to be skillfully self-sufficient and brutally tough." Trejo will play a thug named Big Biz who will face off against Carano.
Sounds like it coulds be an entertainingly badass action flick! I'd love to...
