Mitch Rapp Lives!

Vince Flynn, author of the "Mitch Rapp" series of anti-terrorism thrillers, was intervieeed tonite on a special Hugh Hewitt radio show.

For those of us who are Flynn/Rapp fans, it was all good news.

Flynn announced that there will soon be a movie in production, based on his "Concent to Kill" book.

He also suggested strongly that the studio was interested in a second book as a movie basis, but it was not clear at the time of the broadcast precisely which book would be the vehicle for the second movie.

Flynn was unable to commit to an actor to portray his iconic "Mitch Rapp" character, but he difininately confirmed that Matt Damon would not be a possible candidate.

Media blogs (specifically "Dr. Blogstein") suggests that the starring role will be played by "Jon Hamm", whoever the heck that may be.

My personal choice? Jason Stratham, of "Transporter" fame. Only he could make this scene work, from Transporter I:
