Just for fun...
As I'm a big fan of "On Deadly Ground" I would love to see a follow-up on that one. And that's for real.
PLOT "On Deadly Ground 2"
Forrest Taft is now married to Masu (Joan Chens character). They live together in Alaska and Masu is pregnant with his child. Everything seems peacefull.
Then all of a sudden there is a big oil-tank springing leek not far from where they live. Of cource they call on Forrest to solve the problem.
That's about how far I got,
not far but I think it could make a nice little beginning.
When Forrest steps on the Oil-tank he meets Big Mike (The character played by Mike Starr who he beat up in the first one, with the great line you all remember). Big Mike has changed and he has become a good father of three children and will be a sidekick trought out the movie.
The main bad guy needs to be an actor with great talant. Thinking of John Hurt or Alan Rickman. Would be cool with an englishman with a lot of money, a love for oil and hate for nature. The characters name would be Mr Duncan Safe. So that there could be nice one-liners about things not being "safe".
(BAD) TAGLINES
"Forrest, just a leek away."
"Guess who's on deadly ground again"

My part would be like the one John C. McGinley played in the first one. A mean mother ... who gets his ... kicked in the end.
This is sort of not on-topic as it doesn't include doing a movie with Steven, but I didn't want to start a whole new thread on a related topic, so ....
.... if you could choose Steven's next project (with or without you in it), how about one of the following three that I found on www.scriptsales.com? I thought each had something that would fit well with Steven as the lead. What do you think?

This could work for Steven, but as for me I'm a bit tired of him going to Asia all the time (or Europe for that sake).
Title: Max Payne
Would be cool, but I don't think Steven could do the part justice. Sorry!
Title: Beyond a Reasonable Doubt
Great Seagal-potential!
I think this is the best one.
Great finds TD!
