Hard Boiled - Johnnie To (2008)

[Steve]

A sharp-eyed reader forwarded me the link to a story in Apple Daily, Hong Kong's premiere tabloid-style newspaper (think the New York Post in Chinese) that claims Johnnie To will be directing Chow Yun-fat in the Hollywood remake of John Woo's HARD BOILED.

 

Apparently, the remake rights have been purchased by a US company who signed Chow on to repeat his performance. They then tried to get John Woo on board to direct, but Woo declined saying that he didn't want to remake his own movie. Chow then recommended that they contact Johnnie To who agreed to direct.

 

Although this is still at the "rumor" stage, apparently both To and Chow confirmed the story to Apple Daily with To saying that the story would be different from the original but that it would still be called HARD-BOILED. An American actor will play the Tony Leung Chiu-wai role. Production will begin in May 2007.

Mouahahaha ! Si on rajoute là dessus deux projets de remakes de A Better Tomorrow, on peut s'attendre à beaucoup de rires et de larmes.

 

Le père To ferait mieux de s'appliquer sur son Election 2 histoire de retrouver son meilleur niveau.

Ouai, ben, je m'en tiens à la ligne que je me suis fixé concernant les remakes.
