John Woo to shoot remake of the Japanese classic ‘Manhunt’

[LevelUp]

Here is some exciting news for all the fans of Hong Kong action films out there! John Woo, the man behind action classics such as A Better Tomorrow, The Killer, Bullet in the Head and Hard Boiled, is finally making a return to the genre that made him an internationally acclaimed director.

After years making Hollywood films and big budget Chinese epics like Red Cliff and the recent The Crossing, Woo is going to remake the 1976 Japanese classic action thriller Manhunt (which starred Ken Takakura, who passed away late last year). The story is about a man who is accused of multiple crimes and trying desperately to clear his name. Woo is reportedly a big fan of Takakura and was hoping he would get the chance to work with the actor

John Woo lost his essence man.
I remember looking at the VHS of hard boiled and the killer with my pops, as well as a better tomorrow, what the fukk happened.
All the grittiness is gone, which makes the over the top ness bareable.

Hard Target was fire, that was the only good American Woo movie imo.

The trailer looks cool. Definetely elements of The Killer and Hard Boiled, but updated. I'll probably see it.

US $$$ happened
Then he got mainland China money. Red Cliff I was pretty good. Everything else he's done since then though

This looks good though.
