Face/Off Remake Reportedly in Development
Paramount is preparing a remake of the 1997 John Woo action joint Face/Off, reports Deadline. The studio reportedly plans to remake the film with a new cast, and 22 Jump Street and Sonic the Hedgehog writer Oren Uziel has apparently already been tapped to put together a script.
If you’re not familiar with what was one of the most bonkers action extravaganzas of the ’90s, Face/Off is the story of FBI agent Sean Archer (John Travolta) and charismatic terrorist Castor Troy (Nicolas Cage) – bitter enemies who, after a series of increasingly preposterous events, end up with surgically swapped faces. The result is a movie where Nic Cage needs to spend a decent amount of time acting like John Travolta, and John Travolta is required to spend a lot of time acting like Nic Cage (and some of that time as Nic Cage pretending to still be John Travolta). It’s truly as fabulous as it sounds.
Hustlers Review
This is an advance review out of the Toronto International Film Festival. Hustlers opens in the US and UK on Sept. 13 and in Australia on Oct. 10.
“The whole country is a strip club: you’ve got people throwing the money and you’ve got people doing the dance,” Jennifer Lopez’s Ramona says at a pivotal point of Hustlers; a simplistic but apt way of describing the search for power and control that drives this layered and unexpectedly weighty heist movie. Inspired by the 2015 New York Magazine piece “The Hustlers at Scores,” the Lorene Scafaria-directed and written film explores a group of strippers who brazenly embezzle money from rich club attendees.
We follow the group starting in 2007: Destiny (Constance Wu) is new to the club with the desire to take care of her ailing grandmother. She becomes entranced with Ramona, an ambitious veteran of the club whose entire focus is providing for her daughter, who soon takes Destiny under her wing. Things are going well until the 2008 recession: with powerful CEOs and stock brokers feeling the squeeze, they’re less likely to splash their cash in the club, prompting the enterprising Ramona to mastermind a new way of getting paid: drugging these powerful men and stealing their money.
