Die Hard director John McTiernan has agreed to helm forthcoming thriller Shrapnel.

According to Variety, the film features two war vets battling each other "in a deadly game of cat and mouse".

Evan Daugherty penned the script for the feature, which could undergo a name change in order not to be confused with director Len Wiseman's upcoming sci-fi picture also called Shrapnel.

McTiernan reportedly pleaded guilty to lying to FBI agents and a federal judge in a wiretapping case in July.
