Tower heist? Powered gliders? Parachutes? Infiltration? We would say “somebody call Michael Bay” but it seems he’s way ahead of us on this one.
The Michael Bay co-founded production company Platinum Dunes, responsible for such genre cannon fodder as the “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” remake, “The Amityville Horror” remake, the “Friday The 13th” remake, and the upcoming “Nightmare On Elm Street” remake (spot a trend there?) has acquired an original property (yay!) in the form of George Mahaffey’s “Heatseekers.” The script by the attorney-turned-screenwriter follows “a young ex-military pilot who infiltrates a gang of aerial “pirates” working out of Bangkok and takes part in an elaborate tower heist using powered gliders and parachutes.” That either sounds like the best or (most likely) worst thing ever.
No word yet on the when the film, described as a cross between “Fast & Furious” and “Point Break,” will go in front of cameras.
