The project was co-written by Brian Helgeland, the acclaimed screenwriter known for his work on L.A. Confidential, Mystic River, 42, and Legend. As Woo (Face/Off, Mission: Impossible II) states in the official production notes, the Academy Award-winning scribe "captured the essence of the original The Killer, and he also found a way to work in a very different story that makes it feel like a brand-new film. I loved his dialogue, which really makes the characters stand out. He created many fantastic story beats and drama."
“Without question, depth of character, being able to get involved with the characters’ journey, is what makes a movie worth watching, and what John Woo brings to the table is that depth of character and then delivering on visceral action,” adds producer Alex Gartner. “That, of course, creates great jeopardy and makes you sit up on the edge of your seat hoping that these characters survive this perilous journey.”
