Filmmaker Len Wiseman is in talks to direct DreamWorks' upcoming thriller "Motorcade," according to Variety.

Originally written by Hans Bauer and Craig Mitchell, the story centers on terrorists attacking the president's motorcade in Los Angeles.

The trade says Billy Ray, director of "Breach," is rewriting the screenplay. Wiseman most recently directed "Live Free or Die Hard." He also helmed the first two "Underworld" flicks.

Final word: Considering the United States has just elected a new president, I'm glad this project is only in early developmental stages instead of being ready for a theatrical release.
