Kuala Lumpur-based DragonSlate Media, headed by Leon Tan, announced today that Furious 7’s Emmy-nominated cinematographer, Stephen Windon, will make his directorial debut in DragonSlate’s motorcycle action-thriller Full Throttle, written by Todd Slawsby, set for production in first quarter 2016.
Andrew Mason, executive producer of The Matrix trilogy and producer on Russell Crowe’s directorial debut The Water Diviner, will lead the Full Throttle production team. Tan will serve as producer, while Sukee Chew, Andrew Ooi, Harriet Spalding and Robert Lundberg will executive produce.
Full Throttle, a Malaysian motorcycle action-thriller, follows a racer who, after a career-ending crash during a race in Singapore, plies his skills as a courier in Kuala Lumpur. After his girlfriend is abducted, he is forced to crisscross the city against the clock, avoiding capture by relentless authorities while being blackmailed to perform escalating acts of crime by a twisted criminal mastermind.

Wow, so this is basically an exact remake of the Korean movie ‘Quick’ by the sounds of it.
