John Hillcoat is already attached to direct an adaptation of 'The Revenant,' but he has been approached to direct a remake of Jean-Pierre Melville’s film Le Cercle Rouge (aka The Red Circle) says The PlaylistThe film concerns a just released aristocratic thief, an escaped murderer and an ex-police sniper teaming for a jewel heist while a revenge-seeking mob boss, a nightclub owner and a pimp try trap them.
The flick was originally setup with John Woo directing back in 2004 and later Johnnie To came on.
Liam Neeson, Tim Roth and Orlando Bloom were attached to star.
Now, a Production Weekly article says an offer is out to Hillcoat to direct the film, something Hillcoat hinted at this past week saying the post-Revenant project is a "contemporary....crime thriller, set in Hong Kong and Macao"
