Sure, filmmaker David O. Russell freed up some time when he left ‘Pride and Prejudice and Zombies,’ but he’s wasted no time finding not one, but a number of other projects to fill the void. The zombies first led way to ‘Old St. Louis,’](http://blog.moviefone.com/2010/10/06/david-o-russell-pride-and-prejudice-and-zombies/) and then the video game adaptation ‘Uncharted: Drakes’ Fortune.'](http://blog.moviefone.com/2010/10/09/uncharted-drakes-fortune-movie-to-be-written-and-directed-by/) But that’s only the start of things, making up for his six-year hiatus and ‘Nailed’ woes.
Now Russell is cooking up an R-rated drama for New Line, but this is no ordinary to-do. Focused on a plainclothes detective, this new project will try to bring back Harry Callahan’s gruff type of crime-fighting persona to a new generation. Not Detective Callahan himself, but rather a new detective played by Russell’s ‘Three Kings’ star Ice Cube.
