The British director's latest project is a "light-hearted homage to 1980s action thrillers", according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The lead character will be a "tight-jeans-wearing, matchstick-chewing man", who is described as having an "'80s mentality".
"Phil was basically hired off the title alone of his first film," said co-producer Beau Flynn.
Fellow producer Tripp Vinson added: "And after actually seeing it, we knew he was the man to kick ass on Dan Mintner. Plus his film had our two favourite things in cinema - vampires and lesbians."
