The Killer Remake: Everything we know about John Woo's movie starring Omar Sy

While this won't be a straight-up remake, it's fair to assume that some elements of the original "Killer" will remain intact in its English-language reimagining. It's likely to involve a hitman (Ah Jong in the original, played by Chow Yun-Fat) doing one last job before retirement to atone for a costly mistake at work.

Although this crime and this work are not known at this time, it could resemble the scenario given to Jennie (Sally Yeh), a singer who was accidentally blinded by Ah Jong. Finally, it is likely that a detective character (Li Ying, played by Danny Lee) finds himself embroiled in the plans of the assassin before finally allying himself with him. Sy hasn't been confirmed as a hitman or detective yet, but he'd be a perfect fit for either character. Other actors will certainly be announced in the coming weeks.

While it's nice to watch a brand new Hollywood Woo movie in theaters, it's unlikely you'll be able to catch "The Killer" there. Indeed, the film will be one of three original films made for Peacock, Universal Studios and NBC's streaming service in 2023. It's a shame, but at least we're getting a new Woo action flick.< /p>
