“Missing in Action” rediscovered for update
Joining the legions of remakes of ’80s action movies is a new take on “Missing in Action,” the Chuck Norris vehicle in which he blazes his guns throughout Southeast Asia, liberating prisoners of war.
This version, for MGM, will be updated, like most of the new action reboots including “Rambo,” to reflect contemporary realities. The movie will be set in the current Iraq war and involve an action hero on a mission in the Middle East.
