Scott Free Productions have brought him back to put his own explosive touch on the tale of an architect who turns into a bloodthirsty vigilante after the rape and murder of his wife, and severe beating of his daughter. No casting has been announced yet, but it only makes sense that Joe would want to reteam with Liam Neeson. He’s good at punching people and animals, and won’t turn down a role. However, if they want to stay true to the original, they should cast someone short and older who wouldn’t naturally be pegged as the tough type. Someone get Jerry Stiller on the phone.

For those of you who don’t already know, The Mechanic is a remake of a 1972 Charles Bronson film of the same. The plot follows the exploits of a hit man as he does what hit men do. People are thrown from moving vehicles, old men are drown in swimming pools, and one guy even gets stabbed with a fishing spear. Also, there are date-rape jokes. All-and-all, it seems to be a well-balanced film.

The Mechanic hits theaters January 28th.
