Official: “Godzilla vs. Kong” director is working on a direct sequel to the action movie “Face Off”

In September 2019, it became known about the studio’s plans Paramount pictures reimagine the iconic action movie John Woo “No face“. A year and a half later, the project is still in force, but now we are not talking about a remake, but a direct continuation of the original tape

I shared the relevant news on my Instagram director of “Godzilla vs. Kong” Adam Wingard, which is officially attached to the sequel as a director. Together with Simon Barrett he also writes the script. Details of the plot have not been disclosed at the moment, but it is unlikely that the heroes of Travolta and Cage will appear in it. According to the publication DeadlineFace Off 2 Will Be Filmed With New Cast

The original film told the story of FBI agent Sean Archer (John Travolta), who is obsessed with capturing the sociopathic hitman Castor Troy (Nicolas Cage) who killed his son. After capturing the criminal, the agent undergoes a face-change operation and transforms into his nemesis in order to go to prison and find out the whereabouts of a bomb that threatens hundreds of lives. The plan fails when Troy comes to his senses and forces the surgeon to transplant Archer’s face to him, eliminating all the witnesses of the special operation. As a result, the protagonist becomes a criminal, and the villain begins to live the life of an FBI employee, thinking to accomplish his plan.

Despite the rather absurd-sounding synopsis, “No Face” became a huge hit and highest grossing film in the United States of Hong Kong director John Woo, grossing $ 112 million at home and almost $ 246 million all over the world.
