‘Under Siege’ Reboot In The Works

A classic film series (made up of two films) is getting a reboot – well one of them is!

The 1992 hit Steven Seagal action movie Under Siege is getting underway at Warner Bros report Deadline with Timo Tjahjanto directing and Umair Aleem writing. The duo have collaborated and developed the pitch together with the movie being planned to stream on HBO Max.

There’s no word yet if 69-year old Seagal will reprise his role as Casey Ryback, the ex-Navy Seal turned cook who was the only person in that movie to stop a group of terrorists from taking control of a U.S. battleship.

Movie pre-production so it’s entirely possible “If Harrison Ford can still make action films in his late 70’s, then Steven can feature in the reboot even with a bodydouble for most of the film” said red carpet promoter Mark Boardman.
