It's an Amazon TV series now...or at least an Amazon pilot. Kevin Smith is directing.

Buckaroo Banzai is inherently esoteric and designed to be off-putting to 99% of the audience. The Destroyer is a straightforward action-adventure premise. In the right hands it could be turned into a Jason Bourne type franchise, and the fact that there was a previous film based upon the books would be no more relevant than the Richard Chamberlain Bourne miniseries from the '80s.

Re: Remo Williams: The Adventure Continues... "The Destroyer"!

I actually met Warren Murphy back in 2012 and asked him about any potential Remo films. He was very excited at the time that there was starting be renewed interest in bringing the Destroyer back into theaters. A while later, the news that Shane Black would direct broke. So, I am not giving up hope, yet...
