Taking his cue from action movies such as Underworld and Live Free or Die Hard, director Len Wiseman is in negotiations with Dreamworks to helm its upcoming thriller Motorcade.

The film is about terrorists attacking the president’s motorcade as it travels through Los Angeles. It has been written by Hans Bauer and Craig Mitchell, and has been rewritten by Billy Ray.

Walter Parkes and Laurie MacDonald will serve as producers on the film. No starting date was announced.
