The Hollywood Reporter‘s Risky Biz Blog reports that Fast & Furious star Paul Walker is in talks to play the lead male in Protection.
The project is about a twenty-one-year-old daughter of a Mexican judge who’s targeted by mob types (after she sees them kill her father and other family members), and must stay on the run through dodgy places on both sides of the border, while an agent (Walker) tries to protect her and the bad guy is hot on her trail.
Simon West is in talks to make the movie if the timing works (he’s also just signed on to do the remake of the Charles Bronson thriller The Mechanic).
