Breaking News from Russia

Sam Klebanov announced that the proposed remake of Johnny To’s Daai si gin (Breaking News), which would also be the country’s first co-production with Sweden for many years, would be called Goryachiye Novosti (Newsmakers) and be directed by Swede Anders Banke.

Klebanov: ‘Swapping Hong Kong’s concrete canyons for Moscow’s concrete jungle is idea for an action-packed movie that opens with a shoot-out that will be filmed in the centre of the city.’

The $4 million budget film was expected to be completed a year before Hollywood producer Joel Schumacher's version. [ADD]
