Thomas Jane’s Next Actioner Is… ‘Standoff’

A little update on Thomas Jane here.  His next action movie is called ‘Standoff’.  He will play Carter, a troubled veteran who gets a chance at redemption by protecting a 12 year-old girl from an assassin after she witnesses a murder. Holding a shotgun with a single shell, he engages in physical and psychological warfare in a desperate fight for the girl’s life. Production is set to begin this summer in Ontario.

Hopefully this will be better than Jane’s last movie, Drive Hard (review can be read here).  But you know, I get a feeling Jane never will capitalize on The Punisher – sad because for our money he was the best Punisher on screen.  Jane was originally touted to appear in The Expendables 2.  Didn’t happen.  Then Sly made up for that by casting him in Bullet To The Head (then known as ‘Headshot’).  But he was fired when an exec demanded an Asian co-lead.

That said, Thomas Jane’s next movie is in fact with Sylvester Stallone in ‘Reach Me’, although it’ll be a drama and I’m pretty sure it’s one of those interlocking things where character arcs don’t meet.  We’re expecting to get an early review of that one, so keep an eye out…
