I can only imagine that it didn't work out with previous directors because they soon realised the producer is an utter twerp. Cercle Rouge hasn't dated a jot, as any fule kno.

WTF! Hong Kong and Macau? Sacrilege. Le Cercle Rouge is a slow, captivating, beautiful movie. A first class thriller with a lot of tension. Â´The story kind of does not hold togetherÂ´? This guy thinks he will do better? My advice is: do not attempt any remake. If one tries to make it suit the current taste in films, it will be ruined: a bit more action here, a bit more violence there, etc. Christian Bale, Russell Crowe, Matt Damon, Brad Pitt, Tom Hardy replacing Gian Maria VolontÃ©, Alain Delon, Yves Montand, Bourvil and Francois PÃ©rier? Some of them are good actors, but they would be rivaling with titans.

Considering the huge influence Melville had on Woo and To these would have been interesting choices indeed. Jarmush may have been another one (Ghostdog was basically a remake of Le samourai)… or Michael Mann … hell even Walter Hill. Granted Mangold is a solid choice (loved Identity) but with a guy from Vegas producing that's kinda scary, especially when he goes on saying ludicrous things about the original … the story doesn't hold together ???! have you seen it ? don't you get what the "red circle" and the (albeit fake) Buddha quote is all about ???

As ill-advised as I think this project is, I'm very intrigued as to how Johnnie To's version might have turned out. Or even Woo's.
