"The Rock's company is doing 'Rowdy' Roddy, which I'm actually attached to now. They came to me with the idea of doing a 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper project. It's with The Rock's company and Jimmy Kimmel's company. I am attached to direct it. They're not looking for another director at this time because if, and when it gets made, I am the guy," he said. "We're all about casting right now."

No further information has been announced regarding the project and it is unknown if it is still moving forward.
