John McTiernan Returns To The Directors Chair With Shrapnel

John McTiernan was the man in the late 80's when it came to action movies, delivering classics "Die Hard" and "Predator" back to back, however he has not made a film since the underwhelming "Basic" in 2003 and has spent the last few years in legal trouble, however he is set to return to the fray with a new movie entitled "Shrapnel" according to the Trades.
The film, not to be confused with the in development comic book adaption, is centered on two war veterans engaged in a game of cat and mouse, the script is by Evan Daughtery and featured on the 2008 Black List. Casting is expected to be announced shortly.
I'd love to see McTiernan recapture his glory days with this film, casting-wise maybe he can call on some old friends to give the film a star power boost, Bruce Willis and John Travolta maybe?
