John Woo is preparing a remake of Hired Assassin
In an interview with ScreenDaily , director John Woo announced that he would soon begin work on a remake of his cult action movie Hired Assassin ."Many people ask when I will be back in Hollywood," said the filmmaker. -Actually, I never left it. Once I finish shooting Dangerous Pursuit, I will go to the US to work on the American version of Hired Assassin . Wu has not yet clarified whether he will undertake the production of the remake or will limit himself only to the functions of the producer. The main character of the original film was a professional killer played by Chou Yun-Fat, who, during the next mission, knocked out the eyes of the singer Jenny . The hired killer takes on his last assignment to pay the girl an expensive ophthalmic operation ...  Studio Tri-Star Pictures wanted to reshoot the action movie back in the early 90s, but all attempts to launch the project into work before ended in failure. The last time we heard about the remake was a couple of years ago, when John Travolta, who starred in Wu in Broken Arrow and Face Off, announced his desire to play the title role.  At one time, " Hired Assassin " had a significant impact on the work of such famous directors as Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino.
