John Woo‘s 1989 action-thriller The Killer is getting a “reimagining” from Woo himself, and we’ve learned today that Nathalie Emmanuel (The Invitation) is on board to star.
Omar Sy (Jurassic World) will also be starring in the Peacock film.
Action auteur John Woo returns to reimagine and re-direct his own classic with the brand new movie, written by Matthew Stuecken and Josh Campbell (10 Cloverfield Lane), as well as Eran Creevy (Welcome to the Punch, Collide) and Brian Helgeland (42, Legend).
Expect the new version of the classic film to debut on Peacock in 2023.
Written and directed by John Woo, the original The Killer starred Chow Yun-Fat as Ah Jong, “a disillusioned assassin who accepts one last hit in hopes of using his earnings to restore vision to a singer he accidentally blinded.”
A remake of The Killer starring Lupita Nyong’o was recently announced, but Woo had updated back in 2019 that Nyong’o was off the project and the script was being reworked.
