Noted action director Tanigaki Kenji (Raging Fire, Enter the Fat Dragon) is in talks to helm an Indonesian remake of the 2010 Korean box office hit The Man From Nowhere. If Kenji accepts, it will reunite the filmmaker with his Furious star Joe Taslim (The Raid, The Night Comes for Us), who has reportedly signed on.
This Indonesian The Man From Nowhere remake is one of the many films being produced by Asia Media Alliance Group and Jakarta-based Nation Pictures, the companies behind the upcoming Extraction Taigo and Pendekar: Warrior, as reported by Variety.
A U.S. remake is also in the works with Chad Stahelski (John Wick franchise), who has signed onto the remake as producer, along with his John Wick, John Wick: Chapter 2 and John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum collaborator/writer, Derek Kolstad.
In Lee Jeong-beom’s original film, Won Bin (Guns & Talks) played an ex-secret agent who raced against time to save his little girl neighbor after she was kidnapped by a vicious drug ring.
