John Woo is an iconic director.
Summary The trailer for the upcoming Peacock film The Killer has been released. The Killer was originally a 1989 action film by director John Woo. It features a leading cast including Chow Yun-Fat, Danny Lee, Sally Yeh, Kong Chu, Kenneth Tsang, Fui-On Shing, and Wing-Cho Yip. Woo also directs the upcoming Peacock adaptation. The Peacock adaptation's leading cast includes Nathalie Emmanuel, Sam Worthington, Omar Sy, Diana Silvers, Said Taghmaoui, and Hugo Diego Garcia.
The Killer Is The Perfect Return for John Woo Woo is an iconic action director known for making high-stakes and thrilling genre films. He has been making feature films since the 1970s, debuting with The Young Dragons in 1974. Since then, Woo's most significant work includes titles such as A Better Tomorrow, Red Cliff, Hard Boiled, and 2023's Silent Night.
As per the trailer, the newest adaptation of the story looks far different from that of the original The Killer back in 1989. The biggest change is that the protagonist of the film is now a woman, played by Emmanuel. This change appears to be significant for The Killer character, because the fact that she is a female assassin is even highlighted in the trailer itself. Making this casting shift could be a strong way to update The Killer while still maintaining the original film's story beats.
