Clive Owen Still Playing Clive Owen Parts
A special agent protecting a girl from some mob guys? Yeah, that sounds like an Owen:
Patrick Alessandrin (upcoming District 13: Ultimatum) will direct Clive Owen in the action-thriller Protection.Written by Brandon Noonan, 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 (Owen) tries to protect her and the bad guy is hot on her trail.
Paul Walker was previously attached to play the agent role.
Don't feel too bad, Paul Walker, no one can beat Clive Owen for these roles. He was biologically constructed in a British bad-ass laboratory, born of a human mother impregnated with a handgun, just for these parts. You can't fault yourself.
And you have your own strengths, Paul Walker. I'd like to see Clive Owen try and play the guy who's not Vin Diesel in the Fast/Furious movies! Actually, I would like to see that; he'd probably be pretty awesome. What else were you in? The Punisher? Oh, right, that was Thomas Jane. Hmm... uh, let me get back to you on this whole "Clive Owen isn't better than you in every way" thing.
