John Woo’s remake of The Killer gets a trailer

John Woo’s 1989 film, The Killer, starring Chow Yun-fat in the titular role is an action-thriller classic. Woo has recently remade the film. The new version moves the action from Honk Kong to Paris and stars Nathalie Emmanuel (Game of Thrones) in the lead role.

From the Oscar-winning producer of Oppenheimer, the kinetic action thriller stars Emmy nominee Nathalie Emmanuel (The Fast Saga, Game of Thrones) as Zee, a mysterious and infamous assassin known, and feared, in the Parisian underworld as the Queen of the Dead. But when, during an assignment from her shadowy mentor and handler (Avatar’s Sam Worthington), Zee refuses to kill a blinded young woman (Diana Silvers; Ma, Booksmart) in a Paris nightclub, the decision will disintegrate Zee’s alliances, attract the attention of a savvy police investigator (Golden Globe nominee Omar Sy; Jurassic World franchise, Lupin), and plunge her into a sinister criminal conspiracy that will set her on a collision course with her own past.

The film also stars Omar Sy, Diana Silvers, Sam Worthington, Said Taghmaoui, Hugo Diego Garcia, Aurelia Agel, and Gregory Montel.

The Killer hits Peacock on 23rd August 2024.
