Just because he hasn't made a film in America since 2003, "It doesn't mean I have given up on Hollywood," John Woo told me this morning in a discussion about his latest film Red Cliff . That film, like his next project Jianyu Jianghu (with Michelle Yeoh) are both Chinese-language, but Woo ...

What Should John Woo Direct Next: Marco Polo or Le Samourai?
FirstShowing.net —
... that he's got a few projects on his slate to choose from. Much like Tarantino, John Woo has a few projects to choose from as well. Movieline recently interviewed the director (for Red Cliff's US release) and discovered that he's got another ancient epic about Marco Polo in the works as well as a remake of Jean-Pierre Melville's Le Samourai. So which one should he direct next? ...

John Woo Considering Two English-Language Projects; Wants to Remake Le Samouraï
/Film —
... Movieline reports on the two projects. The first seems wholly superfluous, which means it’ll probably the one the gets made. That’s a straight-up remake of Jean-Pierre Melville’s amazing pseudo-gangster movie Le Samouraï. The film, which combines ’40s gangster imagery, samurai-influenced storytelling and ’60s Parisian style, has been a massive influence on Woo over the years. The Killer, as Movieline notes, is already so heavily influenced by Melville’s film that it could almost be considered ...
John Woo Wants to Remake 'Le Samourai'?
RopeofSilicon.com —
... Movieline has posted a few snippets from their interview with Red Cliff director John Woo, whose new film is the first feature length film he has released since 2003's abysmal Paycheck. It's his return to Chinese language films, but as he tells Movieline's Kyle Buchanan, "It doesn't mean I have given up on Hollywood."
Nope, instead he has a pair of films he would like to make, the first being an English-language remake of John-Pierre Melville's outstanding 1967 feature Le Samourai, a film Buchanan says Woo already touched upon so ...

... people. His father met Kublai Khan during his Asian travels, and Khan asked him to become their ambassador and communicate with the Pope. Marco Polo then travelled extensively through Asia on behalf of Khan and on their return documented it for Western readers. Now if that's not an epic tale to rival the epic nature of Red Cliff I don't know what is, and it sounds far from a single film too. John Woo was talking about his next two potential projects to Movieline through /Film , and talked a little about why he was wanting to remake a film ...
John Woo Update: A Remake of ‘Le Samourai?’
Screen Rant —
... “favorite stories.” Who knew.
So which of these films will be first up on Woo’s docket? Critics and audiences tend to stray when Woo doesn’t stay true to his action roots (usually for good reason). Action is what Woo does best. So I’m hoping he pushes ahead with Le Samourai (Woo-style gun play on the streets of Paris?); no matter if the film ends up in French, English, or Chinese, I will be there.
