"Neil Marshall has revealed that he is planning to make a film based on the classic British TV series The Professionals. The Centurion director told Empire that his feature will bring the &amp;#039;70s show, about cops William Bodie (Lewis Collins) and Ray Doyle (Martin Shaw) and their exploits for CI5, into the present day. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s going to be a hard-hitting action movie,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;I always loved the show. It has one of the greatest theme tunes ever and a really great central premise. I just thought, &amp;#039;This is going to make a great movie&amp;#039;.&amp;quot; He continued: &amp;quot;They deal with anti-terrorism, assassinations, political intrigue. The slogan, or kind of the tagline for the film, is &amp;#039;Fight fire with fire&amp;#039; and that was their whole thing... Primarily it&amp;#039;s going to be an exciting movie, but there&amp;#039;s an inherent political angle on the story.&amp;quot; Marshall likened his Professionals film to American movies Lethal Weapon and Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid. Marsall is also working on horror project Burst 3D with Sam Raimi. &amp;gt; Click here to watch our interview with Neil Marshall "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
