John Woo is producing a 3D remake of his own classic The Killer. How many kinds of wrong is that?
If you haven't seen the original, you need to acquaint yourself with John Woo's pre-US career-the one where he made the two greatest action films of all time: The Killer and Hard Boiled. These two are a perfect yin and yang for each other, for while one has more story and less action the other is opposite. They strike a balance so that your brain can no longer comprehend their beauty.
This one really needs to be stopped. What needs to be done is for the original to finally be restored and made available to the public in a 2011 quality release. even more so, these two films need to be restored to the big screen in a theatrical re-release. Imagine the glory of blazing guns in Cantonese mono and this...on a giant screen in front of your face:
And if they even think of touching Tequila...this is what hell Chow Yun-Fat will bring down on them. At least I would hope so...there were plans for a Hard Boiled 2 a few years back. Now that's what they should be doing!!!
