Woo and his longtime partner Terence Chang will produce; the film will be a co-production of Woo and Chang's Lion Rocks Productions and the Nikkatsu Corporation. Rob Frisbee, who does not appear to have any previous credits, wrote the script.
With all the world suffering from remake fever, it's was only a matter of time before Hollywood tapped into the Suzuki well. Suzuki was never known for his action direction, so it will be interesting to see what Woo can bring to the table and if he'll retain Suzuki's anarchic attitude. Woo has made no secret of Suzuki influence on his filmmaking so this might have a chance to not suck. Here the whole article to readify.

ReplyDeleteSaid 'sucking' of this film actually depended not on the filmmaker or the film in question, but on whether the audience that was to have seen it wasn't preconditioned (brainwashed) by the groupthink prevalent on the Internet to hate the movie in advance, as had happened with many of the remakes of the 2000's and 2010's and that also happened recently (as of 4/12/2024) to this movie (https://www.facebook.com/groups/ejobn/posts/8082134705180639) which was an original one and not a remake.
People, then as now, have to start learning (and carrying out) how to think for themselves about original works and remakes/reboots rather that just submit to groupthink.
