Hopefully I'll be able to toss you some interesting insights into the process along the way. Light a candle.StudioCanal's other trio of remakes are "Honor Among Thieves," based on Alain Delon-starrer "Adieu Lami"; "Max," based on Claude Sautet's "Max et les Ferrailleurs"; and "The Prone Gunman," adapted from a novel by Jean-Patrick Manchette, which inspired "Le Choc," starring Delon and Catherine Deneuve.
First into production is likely to be "Thieves," a scam-cum-heist story being written by John Rogers ("Transformers") with a view to Rogers helming and Woo mentoring.
Budget will exceed $10 million and production will likely take place in Canada. Halpern is overseeing the development of screenplays and will attach Asian helmers to the other two.

Mouth, Meet Money. Money, Meet Mouth.
Well, that's out a bit earlier than I expected. From today's Variety:
I know it's early days, but congrats nonetheless, man!
ReplyDeletegood on ya...
ReplyDeleteSa-WEEEEET! Hope it works out! :-)
ReplyDeleteMazel Tov! And in a nod to my shtetl ancestors, having said good things, I will spit between my fingers to ward off the Evil Eye.
ReplyDeleteHow do you say 'Vaya con Dios' in Canadian?

Wait wait wait....

They want you to direct?!?

I anticipate hilarity. Also, possibly, a good movie.
French thieves?
ReplyDeleteNo, wait. I mean, Freedom Thieves.
Did you get the gig by putting your fingers to the corners of your eyes and pulling them upward, so they thought you were Asian?
Y'know, like in that CAP'N NIP KICKER comic strip parody.
Never mind. I know it's only in my head.
If I were to suffer from jealousy I'd be green right now. A heist film and John Woo. Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, John!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, mate! And yeah, I want a video blog, too!
ReplyDeleteMazel Tov and lots of leg breaking.
ReplyDeleteBRAVO!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd so another writer is lost to the world because of his filthy nasty selfish desire for shelter, regular meals, and un-invisibility.
ReplyDeleteThat said, good luck!
Congrats! Even if you're a socialist! :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, but...
ReplyDeleteI have seen very few remakes I've liked, much less preferred to the original. The better the original the less likely this is to happen.
So good luck, but you've a helluva challenge.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteWe can't find our publisher, Biff Humble. I cracked into his computer and I'm leaving notes on blogs he frequents to ask if anyone has seen him.

Well done, Sir. I look forward to any insights you can bring us on this project (read: insanely funny posts about how hellishly difficult making a movie can actually be) and after that, to seeing your movie. And I've not encoutered the original, so I should be an easy sell.
ReplyDeleteJust whatever you do, don't put "A Film By John Rogers" on it - Josh Olsen will come looking for you!
To quote Little Richard -
ReplyDelete"Mashed potatoes, graaavy, cranberry sauce, WOO-HOO!!!"
John Woo, of course.
An all-good thing.
Woo-hoo! Congratulations and felicitations, sir!
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love good caper movies, so I'm looking forward to this one - um, when it comes out. In a year. Or two.
Verification thingie: hjjkuxs, a fortuitous combination of Hitchcock and hijinx.
Well Done Sir.
ReplyDeleteHome, son Home, son. soon you will hate the CBC, CTV, and Global as much as we idiots who stayed here.
ReplyDeleteWell knock me down with a feather. Good on you.
ReplyDeleteI was going to congratulate you, but now I'm focused on finding these "most sexiest" girls. A double superlative? Damn, they've got to be HOT.
ReplyDeleteWow. That's awesome, John. ADIEU, L'AMI (or FAREWELL, FRIEND or HONOR AMONG THIEVES) is one of my favorite Charles Bronson movies. I watched the movie two years ago and thought "someone extremely clever should remake this." Glad to see it's in good hands.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear who gets cast in the lead roles.
Hot damn, how did I miss that?? Johns Woo and Rogers? Outstanding. Congrats, man. About time you got behind the camera for something Wooish. Maybe you can talk him into funding more RED SKIES while you've got his ear...
ReplyDeleteOT:
ReplyDeleteGreat joke I just heard/saw in the bar. (guy takes off shoe while smoking outside and blows cigarette smoke into the shoe - smoke rises out of the shoe)
"Do you know what this is? An Iraqi waiting for the bus." (so wrong but sadly true)
lol great =)
