DreamWorks is tuning up "Motorcade" again as they've brought director and "24" co-executive producer Jon Cassar to helm the thriller about a disgraced Secret Service agent who happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time when the President is kidnapped in New York.  Cassar sounds perfect for this job because he's directed 59 episodes of "24" and this premise sounds as terrible as anything on that show.  DreamWorks is also looking at Ryan Reynolds to play the lead but it remains to be seen if he can give the same kind of shouting/torturing intensity that Cassar got from Kiefer Sutherland.
