John Woo Update: A Remake of ‘Le Samourai?’

John Woo Update: A Remake of ‘Le Samourai?’

Since 2003’s much-panned Paycheck, American audiences haven’t heard much from the often-imitated action auteur, John Woo.  But he hasn’t been resting on his laurels.  In fact, he’s been adding feathers to his cap.  His latest film, Red Cliff, is an over four-hour-long historical epic that broke the record for the highest-grossing film in China (a title once held by Titanic).

However, Red Cliff, like Woo’s next project, Jianyu Jianghu (The Swordsman’s World), is in Chinese.  And we all know that subtitles – especially on an action film that won’t play with the art-house types -  dooms a film to limited release in America.  So when WILL the director return to American screens with an English language film?

John Woo’s ‘Red Cliff’ Gets U.S. Distribution

Red Cliff is director John Woo’s latest film, a sweeping epic about the historic Battle of Red Cliffs that stars Tony Leung, an actor considered to be Hong Kong’s equivalent to Robert De Niro (well, when he was in his prime). It is a film that has been released in lots of markets already over the past ten months or so, with Part I first released in Mainland China last July, and Part II in January this year.

Other places that it has reached are Japan, Singapore and South Korea, with the only non-Asian locations being France (released in March this year). The UK is releasing Red Cliff next month. But up until this point the United States, has been omitted from the release schedule, for reasons unknown. However: finally news comes that the U.S. of A will be getting to see John Woo’s Red Cliff!
