Jan de Bont is directing the Five Minutes to Live remake

One man holds the bank manager's wife hostage, while the other tells the manager his wife only has five minutes to live unless he transfers money to their account.

Jan is great at thrillers. Hurts to hear that it's a remake, but cool.

I was wondering where this dude went. Not that we need another remake, but glad to read he's still alive.
