They Are Actually Making A US Version of The Raid

Frank Grillo Officially Cast In The Raid: Redemption Remake

While a short wish-list was released a little while ago concerning who would be kicking ass in Patrick Hughes’ remake of The Raid: Redemption, we now have confirmation that one of those names has officially been signed. While talking to Frank Grillo today about his new movie The Purge: Anarchy, the actor nonchalantly dropped the fact that he’s going to appear in the Hughes’ upcoming film.

In other news, we recently found out that filming was delayed from this September until the first quarter of 2015. When I asked Grillo about this, he confirmed that shooting will in fact start in January, so it looks like they want to get the ball rolling as soon as possible on this one. Patrick Hughes has quite the task ahead of him, but from what I could tell, Grillo seemed extremely excited about the director’s enthusiastic admiration for Gareth Evans’ original material.

I thought that this remake had been cancelled but I guess not.
I like Frank Grillo and it is cool to see him getting some shine but I can't see them being able to capture the energy of the fight scenes in the original.

I read an article a while back that said Gareth Evans was supposed to direct the remake. I'd have more faith then but now this remake is most likely going to be trash.

A remake of the Raid without Gareth Evans?


LMFAO...fukk outta here ...

How have you never seen or heard of this movie?

Yea I heard about this a while back. Hollywood is so fukking greedy they have to try to Americanize every great foreign film to try to make it appeal to idiot American audiences b/c they hate subtitles and actually reading. They need to leave this shyt alone b/c its gonna fail on so many levels. The choreography alone is gonna be a joke. All they gonna do is that Bourne Identity/Supremacy/Taken type of fight scenes where you cant really see shyt and the angle is changing every 2-3 seconds to where you dont understand whats going on. fukk THIS REMAKE.

Can these film makers make anything original. Always tryna americanize everything.
