Simon West to direct 'Dust and Glory'

Director Simon West stays loyal to the action genre, entering negotiations to helm "Dust and Glory," a racing adventure based on the novel by Evan Green. THR says the project is described as "cross between 'Mad Max' and 'Jewel of the Nile'".
"Dust and Glory" mixes romance with adventure, following the rivalry between an American hotshot and an Australian legend participating in one heck of a long, perilous race during the 1950s. Robert Lewis Galinsky wrote the script.
Simon West is currently shooting "The Expendables 2." He recently helmed "The Mechanic," and some of his more popular films include "Con Air," "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" and "The General's Daughter." He also brought us the bad "When a Stranger Calls" remake.
