Last week, we brought you the news that Walter Hill (The Warriors) will be directing Sylvester Stallone in the action/thriller Headshot. Today, JoBlo reports that Thomas Jane will be starring alongside Sly as an NYPD detective. Per their report, Jane dropped the news of his involvement while appearing on their “Arrow in the Head” podcast and claims that it is indeed a done deal. Production on Headshot is expected to begin next month in New Orleans.
The script, initially penned by Alessandro Camon (The Messengers) and currently undergoing rewrites by Hill, focuses on a New Orleans-based hitman (Stallone) who shares a common goal of revenge with the aforementioned NYPD detective (Jane) as they are connected by two gruesome murders. As the story goes, the pair “take on all who stand in their way, and are willing to sacrifice everything to exact revenge.” With Stallone, Hill, and now Jane on board, color me excited for Headshot.

This is very disappointing. They should have cast someone like Shia LaBeouf, Anton Yelchin, Penn Badgley, Chad Michael Murray, Chace Crawford or James Lafferty as the NYPD detective.
To Lydia Roberts:
I hope you know nobody cares.
He just wants his kids back.
YES!
This is a great cast. Thomas Jane is a good actor and will hold up with Stallone. Also Jane is funny, so I would expect a little humour here and there from this duo. Walter Hill rewriting the script makes me a little nervous but if the film needed to go into another direction then so be it. I am expecting to see moments of Tango and Cash but I think the movie will be a much tougher looking film. Can’t wait!!!!
Count me in..
