Word has it that the bombast maestro has replaced Peter Berg (of THE RUNDOWN and upcoming THE KINGDOM) as director on THE LOSERS, based on the DC/Vertigo comic series that just recently ended its run. The twisting, violent tale of betrayal and conspiracies revolves around a team of former CIA operatives hunting the man who left them for dead, a shadowy double agent known only as Max.
No info on why the increasingly busy Berg abandoned the project, unless he decided it skewed a little too close to his own (now delayed) military-guys-on-a-mission movie. McG (who I think is an amazingly talented shooter, but desperately needs a good script to follow) is also linked to a remake of FANTASTIC VOYAGE, the classic sci-fi flick that put Raquel Welch in a skintight outfit and then shrunk her (and her prodigious bosom) down to injectable size. For medical purposes, of course.
