Both the Hollywood Reporter and Deadline Hollywood are reporting that Universal studios and Robert De Niro are developing a sequel to Midnight Run. The 1988 action comedy starred De Niro as bounty hunter, Jack Walsh, and Charles Grodin as Jack Walsh, a neurotic-mob-accountant-turned-embezzler on the run.

De Niro is producing and will reprise his role but Deadline says Grodin, who retired from acting in 2004 to become a broadcast journalist and political commentator, will not return.

He did, however, have a role in the 2007 Zach Braff comedy, The Ex, so he is not eschewing films altogether.

Timothy Dowling, writer of the Universal comedy Role Models, is crafting the script, which will reportedly pair De Niro with a younger comedic foil.

There have been three made for TV sequels — Another Midnight Run, Midnight Runaround and Midnight Run for Your Life — though these did not feature any of the principal characters. And Yaphet Kotto reprised the role of FBI agent, Alonzo Mosely, in 2008’s Witless Protection.
