re: Face/Off - sequel (D: Wingard)
We we shall see who they cast. Im not encouraged by the writer they hired. |
re: Face/Off - sequel (D: Wingard)
Suggestion : This time don't hire one overweight actor and one thin one. Kinda ruins the premise.

re: Face/Off - sequel (D: Wingard)
They need two actors with very distinctive acting styles to make the switch entertaining.
That being the case, I would go with Ryan Gosling and Rami Malek. Or Keanu Reeves and Adam Driver. Or Tom Hardy and Oscar Isaacs. Or Robert Downey Jr and Chris Evans. Or Jeff Goldblum and Benedict Cumberbatch Or Tom Hanks and Benicio Del Toro. Or Will Smith and Mahershala Ali. Or if they are going with a female reboot: Emma Stone and Brie Larson. Or Sandra Bullock and Cate Blanchett. Or Gal Gadot and Emily Blunt. Or Saorise Ronan and Aubrey Plaza. Or Michelle Rodriguez and Awkwafina. . |

Never saw the original so I'd be down for a reboot.

I’m one of the few that never really cared for the original. I guess if he down for a reboot but the premise itself is a bit silly anyway so the chances of this being good are slim. I also cant remember the last time a solidly made film was rebooted with anything other than a poor man’s attempt at a good film. Most reboots I’ve seen are just direct-to-video quality shit with lesser actors. This will come any go without many of us seeing it. This thread will be bumped for a day or two when it quickly hits Prime. |

True Grit wasn't a reboot. It was an adaptation of a novel. It also wasn't anything to write home about.

Posting the Total Recall reboot movie poster twice is so meta!
|
re: Face/Off - sequel (D: Wingard)
They should make this a comedy starring Kevin Hart and The Rock. They should have good enough face swap effects to achieve this now.

re: Face/Off - sequel (D: Wingard)
Let me guess it'll be a gender swap. Also don't forget the doves.

re: Face/Off - sequel (D: Wingard)
Only part of the movie that really bothers me is at the end when Archer comes home with Troy's son, apparently without telling his wife. WTH?
|
re: Face/Off - sequel (D: Wingard)
Wasn't there only one Face/Off movie? If so it's not a reboot. It's a remake.

re: Face/Off - sequel (D: Wingard)
He said, " This is Adam and he needs a place to live". Then she nods back okay.

No Cage, no sale.

re: Face/Off - sequel (D: Wingard)
One of my favorite movies of all time. No to the reboot! |
re: Face/Off - sequel (D: Wingard)
Can any director working in Hollywood today direct action on the same level as John Woo? I don't think so.

Yes. Stahelski or Leitch. Outside of Hollywood, Gareth Evans.

re: Face/Off - sequel (D: Wingard)
If this does get greenlit, I'd like to see them look into the John Wick directors either Chad Stahelski or David Leitch. Either of them could handle the craziness of this type of movie.

If Dominique Swain does not play the daughter no sale :lol:

re: Face/Off - sequel (D: Wingard)
Would it be too much to ask to bring back Travolta and Cage and have Cage play Sean Archer and Travolta play Castor Troy? |

Paramount Pictures has chosen You’re Next and Godzilla Vs. Kong director Adam Wingard to helm its re-imagining of Face/Off, the 1997 John Woo-directed action thriller that starred John Travolta and Nicolas Cage. Wingard will write the script with his scripting partner Simon Barrett and the studio will reboot the film, with new cast. Neal Moritz will produce and David Permut will be executive producer. Oren Uziel had been part of the equation when Paramount set up the remake last fall, but the understanding is Wingard and Barrett are starting from scratch. Despite a fairly preposterous-sounding premise, the original film was a wild ride that became the top grossing U.S. film of its Hong Kong director John Woo as it did $246 million in global ticket sales. It is easy to imagine this taking shape as a two-hander with a couple of strong male or female stars. In the original, Travolta played FBI agent Sean Archer. He is so obsessed with catching a homicidal sociopath named Castor Troy, who is responsible for killing the fed’s son, that the agent undergoes facial transplant surgery and takes the mug of his nemesis so he can be sent to prison to find out a bomb’s whereabouts and stop an attack. The plan goes awry when the bad guy wakes up and takes the face of the FBI agent. Soon, the new-faced Castor visits the agent with the villainous face and takes glee in taunting him, telling him that the face surgeons have been killed, that the good guy is stuck looking in the mirror at the face he hates most, and that the villain is going home to bed his wife and take over his home life. It escalates into a series of choreographed action sequences. Mike Werb and Michael Colleary wrote the original. |
