Sex, Pirates And Rock & Roll Headline Simon West's New High-Seas Action Comedy, SALTY

Likely following the production of the new British SAS thriller, Stratton, ConAir and The Expendables 2 helmer Simon West will be tackling a dose of comedy for another new action flick he'll be directing later this year. Salty is the title with billing that references it as a cross between The Hangover and Get Him To The Greek, which already lends an idea of the kind of action comedy we'll be in for coupled with a plot that goes a little something like this:

The film follows an ageing rock star, and reformed sex addict, who is persuaded to take a holiday by his wife, a former supermodel. Things take a turn for the worse when she’s kidnapped by Thai pirates raising money to buy a new boat.

Variety reports that Carnaby has boarded the film as its international sales agent following the film's venture into crowdfinancing via SyndicateRoom since last year. No word yet on who will star. West, meanwhile, begins filming Stratton starring Henry Cavill this summer.
