Mark Steven Johnson, who also directed Ghost Rider and Daredevil, is now attached to direct Autobahn, an action film written by Greg Russo and produced by Inferno Entertainment. The project was originally titled I-95 and was set in the US, but was shifted to Germany in order to take advantage of the lack of speed limit and the international marketplace appeal. And quite possibly some BMW product placement/brand synergy.
THR (The Hollywood Reporter) reports that the film is about “a washed-up ex-Formula One driver who wakes up trapped inside a BMW on the side of the Autobahn, Germany’s famed high-speed roadway, which has no general speed limit. He answers a phone ringing in the glove box, only to be told that he has 90 minutes to deliver the bomb-rigged car to a target or his wife and daughter will be killed.”Inferno is currently looking for actors to star and is planning to search for distributors at the American Film Market in November.
