After the failure of his big budget Chinese movies “The Crossing 1 & 2”, he has chosen to steer himself towards the Hollywood for one more time, last time he was in the US, he directed Mission Impossible : 2, and we all know that single movie made Mission Impossible series one of the greatest movie sagas of all time.
John Woo has stated that –
“I find a lot of depth in the characters of Brave Starr, and I want to bring these characters to the big screen with some talented and famous actors/actresses. After finishing the filming of “Crossing”, I got sick and during my recuperation period, I worked on the script for Brave Starr, even though this movie is based on a fictional world, I want to keep the CGI to minimal by using real stunts, and sets. I am an old-fashioned guy, you know. The movie is going to be serious, and I am not planning to show a story in 30 seconds when it should 3 minutes long. We want to wrap the post production by mid-2018, and we plan to release it during Christmas timeframe. Let’s hope for the best.”
