The Producers Of THE DARK KNIGHT and TRANSPORTER Bring Us Remo Williams...THE DESTROYER!?!?
Merrick here...
"The Dark Knight” producer Charles Roven and “Transporter” producer Steve Chasman are teaming up to produce “The Destroyer,” a franchise vehicle that brings back ’80s action hero Remo Williams. The pair have set up the project at Columbia.
Charley and Vlas Parlapanides, who are penning the action epic “War of Gods” for Relativity, are on board to write the screenplay.
Warren Murphy and Richard Sapir wrote the initial batch of “Destroyer” adventure tomes, which centered on Williams, a New Jersey cop convicted of a crime he didn’t commit. Williams is sentenced to the electric chair, but his death is faked so he can be reborn as the vigilante character the Destroyer, joining a top-secret assassin squad set up by the government to operate outside the bounds of the law.
...conveys THIS MISSIVE at RiskyBusinessBlog.
I'm still oh-so-horny for Craig Safan's theme from 1985's REMO WILLIAMS film, which can be heard via this YouTube video montage:
That project was directed by Guy Hamilton, who was...at one point...this close to directing the first SUPERMAN film.
Keep in mind that the REMO WILLIAMS film we saw in the 80s was, itself, based on a series of novels by Warren Murphy and Richard Sapir. The new project may feasibly draw elements from the novels rather than being a "remake" of Hamilton's film in the traditional sense.

oh Yes...wtf
-
Remo Williams? Wow, they are really scraping the bottom of the barrel.
-
over thinking piece of shit i am
-
We talking about the actor who played Remo or just the character coming back? I expect that dude's destroying days are over.
-
My dick is hard.....BRING ME REMO WILLIAMS....
I swear I am geeking out, that movie was fucking awesome and anyone that says different can suck my high hard one.
I have waited for years for this. -
Now time to read the article
-
The original was an excellent 80s flick ... oh and people who post "First" have small dicks and were molested by their parents ...
-
NEEDED a remo sequel. gtoo bad this is what we will get...Fred Ward was awesome as remo in 85.
-
redfist I think your love for Remo crosses the line. Keep it platonic buddy.
-
Have a small dick but was not molested.
-
next!
-
ABOUT FUCKING TIME. Really.
-
you may have blocked it out all these years .. as for this movie .. the way described .. a Gov't team blah blah blah .. sounds garish at best
-
When the original film came out, I recall one reviewer giving it a very simple write-up. And I quote:
"Remo Williams The Adventure Begins: When?"
I'm just waiting (joylessly) for the announcement of remakes for, The Wraith, The Breakfast Club and for that matter any and all of the John Hughes catalogue. -
Go watch "The Adventure Begins" great 80s action flick and a good story.
TOO bad the Adventure didn't continue until now. -
There is always the possibility of a little diddle tucked in the far reaches of my brain...time will tell.
Did you see the original remo? -
The title implied the adventures would continue... I just hope it's a little less campy and a little more true to the spirit of the books (like they actually get a fucking Korean to play Chuin).
All else dishonors the house of Sinanju. -
Oscare worthy.
-
How 'bout another Goddamn Doc Savage movie?
-
Will they bring back Joel Grey to play the Asian mentor? Or will it be recast with a younger white dude in bad makeup.
-
i'm soooo proud of georgia i wish i still lived in Philly.
-
I know I watched most of this movie during some afternoon of my childhood, but moreso I remember the episode of "Lights, Camera, Action!" where Leonard Nimoy described how they did the walking on water bit. Also, Fred Ward has to be one of the most unattractive leads of an 80s action film. He sort of looked like if Charles Bronson was attacked by a Wampa and then melted a little.
-
...saying Remo was a bad ass is an understatement. And chiun was worst.
Lets see, there was a scene where the villain, knowing when and where Remo was going to infiltrate, set up a kill zone with men with submachine guns and sawed off shotguns with room sweeper buckshot. Once Remo jumps the fence, the floodlights cut on and all the goons open fire. Remo proceeds to either dodge, or "push" the bullets away using air from his open palms. After he kills everyone on the field, and chiun shows up, Remo tells him in frustration that he's got a bullet hole in his leather jacket.
If they follow the books i'm there. -
Back to the Future with Shia as Marty McFly, Jennifer Aniston as Jennifer and Michael Caine as Doc. Look who's Talking with Eddie Murphy in makeup as the mother and Will Ferrel as the baby's voice! Lawrence of Arabia with Angelina Jolie as the desert! The Dark Knight with Shia as the Joker and Nipples on the Commissioner Gordon Costume! GO, HOLLYWOOD, GO!!
-
The "The Destroyer" novels by Sapir and Murphy were excellent. Can't wait to see how they're going to make this happen! For the record, I adored "Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins" (or "Remo Williams: Armed and Dangerous", if you live outside the USA) and still watch it from time to time. Joel Grey as Chiun fuckin' MAKES this movie.
-
. . . is Remo scratching the X in the glass w/ that dude's braces so it could be broken.
-
I was hoping they were talking about that cool Kirkman MAX series happening right now.
-
Has the entire collection of this series, save for some of the very early ones he already got rid of. Any takers? I'm not a reader.
-
because he's only heard the word first, the first time he was reamed!Now all he hears is "fist"!!!
-
And back in those days, Kate Mulgrew was actually hot. Remember when the old asian guy gives her an orgasm by pressing on her wrist? Hilarious.
I think I could get on board a remake of this but not if they take it too seriously. -
Don't like remakes but Remo didn't get a fair shake the first time around. Oh by the way just watching Combat Zone on the military channel. Panama 1989 Delta force shooters go into save a CIA guy. One of the Little Birds crashed and the left skid landed on a shooter's leg, that's holy shit ouch! Back to remo finally a remake to get excited about. Took long enough.
-
no bullet time. Thanks.
-
...RWTAB was entertaining, hopefully this project will bring it all together.Any speculation on who will play Chiun?
-
For Chiun! He's old enough now. Just given him a silly accent and your golden.
-
...was never as good as a lot of nostaolgic folks like to think.
-
That was Jane Janeway in the first one! I hope this becomes a prequel! Prequels are awesome!
-
Gets some sort of Royalties from the Bond movies? If so Spike must be paying for all of his medical bills.
-
The remakes are getting out of control! Please stop! No more remakes. The next thing you know they'll be remaking Revenge Of The Nerds and Pee Wee's Big Adventure. STOP STOP STOP!!!!!!!! Its like these execs are sitting in a room with a list of all the movies made in the 80's...STOP!!!!!!!!!!!
-
back. the. fuck. off. monkey. boy.
-
it was bound to happen
-
"The Korean is the most perfect bing to ever bless the earth with the step of each foot" fucking Classic! Chun MUST be in this movie!
-
Kids love Fred Ward!
-
"...laugh while you can...."
-
Put a mullet on him and send him out!
-
My pops had all the Destroyer novels and loved them. He is a bad ass character and if done right, the movie potential is definitely there. They just need to do the character/novel justice unlike the way Clive Cussler's Sahara was recently treated.
-
And she's downstairs. I have this ridiculous notion that I could go down, pull out my dick and destroy her.D E S T R O Y (like a professional with the small 3). After I'd make people refer to me as Remo Williams.None of this will ever happen.
-
Were you offering those books? Yes, please.
-
i loved the first film, but damn was it annoying to have a white guy play the asian martial arts master. fred ward was great, action was cool, too. i hope the new one avoids shakey cam and remo still uses martial arts, and not a bag of guns to kill the bad guys.
-
pretty racist
-
Ain't it cool has this very nasty habit of using character names in place of the actor's name, so I thought they ACTUALLY had cool news about Fred Ward. One of the coolest guys and underused talents out there. Oh well. Joke's on me!
-
. . . but there are a ton of kick ass David Morrell books that would make great action flicks. I'm trying to remember which ones I liked the most. Been a while . . .
-
Yes, saw it many times ... walking across water and wet cement was a dream of mine for years .. that and Korean masters with training poles in their apartments .. greats stuff .. but WHO would play the lead?
-
I am now scared that if I look back into my past .. my dads darkened shape will be hovering over me .. *shudder* ..
-
Ain't seen it in years. All I remember is the dude running light footed over freshly poured cement, while the baddies chase him and sink. And Wilford Brimley. That old cunt's still alive, you know. Must be about 102 years old now - and he looked like about 80 even back then. Bring him back for this new one.
-
I've known they were going to try makng this into a movie when they restarted the novels a couple years ago. I'm a huge fan or the books but have never seen the movie since I just even heard of the character a couple years ago at a used book store where I bought 10 of them at once. thenewdestroyer.com/
-
The movie was so much better than so much of the action crap since. Note to Jason Strathorn or The Rock: Get your agent to jump on this vehicle, esspecially Jason. It can elevate you from grade C action star to grade A action star.
-
he´s pretty much nowadays Fred Ward: cool, talented and fun but sadly not young, hip and pretty enough for the big roles (at least for the PG13-crowd).
-
Fear is just a feeling. You feel hot. You feel hungry. You feel angry. You feel afraid. Fear can never kill you.
-
Sigh.
-
Read all the books when I was a kid. Loved the movie but they never really got Remo right. I would love a tough as nails very dark version of this story. Great idea for a series of flicks. Get it done!
-
would be a better movie.
-
It's like Doogie Howser meets The A-Team...I want to go squirt my man-juice into a bucket of Thai fish sauce now.
-
I wish. All the books are at my moms house and I won't be seeing her till Thanksgiving. SOOO if you see me around here then, remind me.
-
...is just one of the greatest things ever. Up there with the Mt Rushmore scene.
-
I also agree that he would be a better movie, but to most it would appear a Punisher ripoff when in fact it was Frank/Punisher who ripped off Mack/Executioner. I'm a huge fan of Mack Bolan, I'm even subscribed and get the novels in the mail as they are released. Also, whoever said Nathan Fillion for Remo is pretty on target, just need to get him into some Hapkido classes.
-
Aw, hells to the yeah! Forget Remo, I just want to see the adventures of Chiun--he was the best thing about that movie. Joel will have to wear just that much less old man make-up. Zelda Rubinstein can have a cameo as Kim Jong-Il.
-
it could be an excellent movie. The main thing about the books, besides the fact that they are unstoppable assassins, was the biting political commentary. Their missions were always something that everyone wished (America) could do, but can't because of redundant laws/policies etc..
-
WITH TWO CLUBBED FEET!!! This wouldn't be a remake per se, since it was a series of novels before the late, great 80s film. Really liked it then & now, but always wished it was a bit closer to the books & that they called it THE DESTROYER. Well, it's got a second chance...do not dishonor the house of sinanju!
-
Fuckin' A bubba! The hatch just blew!!!
-
and Joel Gray, I have no interest. And both those dudes are old as shit now.
-
Leave Remo alone. The movie was cool as hell. And now some lame ass director is gonna do a remake? Maybe, just maybe, if you gave some more people a chance to write a script instead of the usual clique you might have a chance of breathing some new life into Hollywood. Cure the remake disease.
-
Remo Williams was bad..sure. Hell, Wilford Brimley was terrible in it - but it was still dumb fun and Fred Ward had a good time (and Joel Grey was a great Chiun).
-
I've read the Destroyer series since the late 70s, and have been thoroughly disappointed that Remo hasn't been treated properly with a film series. At the time of the film, talk was that they were looking for a franchise to take over for James Bond, which is why so many of the Bond people worked on the film. Joel Grey was great as Chuin, but they need somebody more frail looking to really honor the book version. Also, there has been a transition of the book series as Harold Smith has an assistant now who is slowly taking over the reins of CURE. I say that's a great place to begin. Bring it on!
-
That shit had me rollin. Those smart ass dobermans. I saw the movie for the first time about 3 years ago and thought it was pretty great.
-
The movie had the tone of Remo and Chuin's relationship down pat, but the books had tons of grotesque bone-snapping and larynx crushing, as well as piles of hot chicks being dutifully ravished by our hero. Sadly, not even James Bond was getting any trim in the mid-80's. I think we can all agree those elements would be a worthy addition to a new Remo movie.
-
"Emo Philips" and I got all confused. I don't think I ever watched Remo Williams. But that's not an excuse. However, thinking someone was going to make a big budget adventure movie about Philips was highly amusing.

THEY HAVE TO GET FRED WARD FOR THIS! OR IT'S NO DEAL!!!
by mrmysteryguest
-
(with the original actors), but hands off Buckaroo Banzai.
-
Hell, I can find out the temperature of your ass in that chair if I really wanna know! Fred Ward is an old man now, but if the story picked up twenty or so years after the original, it could be awesome. Right under Big Trouble in Little China among my favorite old action flicks from back in the day is Remo Williams...so let the adventure continue!
-
I am a sad person, but I have been awaiting this news for a long time. I love the character & that film has a special place in my heart & Harry, yes the music is lovely.
I hope the go Bourne-ish on it & make it real, but keep a little of sense of the fantastic.
Sam Worthington for Remo?
Jackie Chan for Chuan?
Whoever palys Smith has to have a Wil Brimlet walrus tasche'.
Bring it on Roven!!!!
& yes to return of Jack Burton & Buckaroo Banzai also!! -
This isn't a remake since the original novels are vastly different. I have no problem with remakes of bad movies, maybe get it right this time.
Keep Kate Mulgrew the hell away. Now lets see some good remakes of Matt Helm. -
They need to make movies based on all the cheap paperback characters of the 70s: The Destroyer, The Executioner, The Baroness and Nick Carter-Killmaster.
-
Fuck you all. Seriously. You are trash. The dregs of society. Now go crawl off in a corner and die.
-
I think we should get an actual Korean to play Chuin this time. Man I can't wait to see him sitting around watching soap operas all day and ragging on Remo. Maybe I should check out that movie.
-
He used the word horny in two different posts...
-
Sorry. very obscure...
-
Wait, is this for fucking real? When will the make more Bladerunner movies?
-
Yeah on the Korean actor for realism purposes.
They'll never get music to beat that theme though.
Ok, reboot time again, but leave the music, it rocks!
Lets hope this is sooner rather than later!! -
Chris Pine is a thought, but at the end of the day, he's just too young for the role. If I'm not mistaken, in the original novels Williams was a veteran police detective when he was framed/sentenced to death etc., so Statham would be a better fit IMO.
As for Chiun, after the amount of controversy that the casting of a non-Asian in such a prominent Asian role caused back in the '80s, I'm CERTAIN that we'll not see that mistake made again.
So, I'm thinking the dude from OLDBOY with a bit of aging-up work done on him. -
you know it's going to happen...
-
Man I loved this movie, and its still great, waiting for a letterboxed release. 1985 year of Back to the future Remo, and the greatest movie of all time "Commando".
-
The books, most of them anyway, were so good: very funny and action packed with a Superman of martial arts. I was surprised when the original movie, which was very good, (and which I watched recently on MGM-HD) didn't perform. This could be VERY cool with the right director, writer and cast. Fingers crossed!
-
Make it so.
-
Great line from a piece of my childhood. Chiun is the man!
-
It was like lukewarm dish water. Those novels are fucking awesome--funny, violent, and full of amazing action (and, later on, satire). The movie (a product of Dick Clark, by the way) was such a pale imitation of the source material.
-
the Remo Williams movie was fun cheese
-
But now Im scared to watch it....Hey didnt they try to make this a tv series back in the 80s also??
-
Congratulations, for your post above, you have joined an elite group. your handbook will be waiting for you at Barnes&Noble.The Art of Douchebaggery....by...AssimovLives.After you read it, FUCK OFF AND DIE!!!
-
For my money the guy who seems most like Remo we see on the book covers now is John Shepperd from Stargate Atlantis. throw in the guy from Oldboy and you've got your main guys right there. Two that can handle brutality and the light humor of the Remo/Chiun relationship.
-
and Shia LaPuke as Remo.
-
Who cares if he's too old?
-
sounds like Z grade movies
-
Remo Williams is a series which is BEGGING to be made into an ongoing movie franchise. Crazy martial arts, dark and goofy humor, irreverent social/political commentary and starring a great Odd Couple in Remo and Chuin!Hire Stephen Chow as Chuin, bring back Fred Ward (I WISH!) and let the crazy fun begin! It's good for at LEAST a trilogy, with the decades of novels that've already been written. Just made sure that the guy playing Remo isn't a pretty boy and knows his stuff. I'd suggest Ray Parks, but I really don't think his acting's up to the task.
-
If he could convincingly hide that Cockney accent of his. Did he play an American in "The One," with Jet Li? I can't remember.
-
Love that movie and it should've gotten more love.
I hope they have him dive into a sand dune. -
An action movie were the hero doesn't use any guns?Lame.And the asian "master" guy was laughable.
-
He would have owned at Remo Williams.
-
you have nothing to lose but your minds. 80's retreads are not unlike that game of Russian roulette in 187: there are just simply to many bullets in the chamber and it's not as cool as Deerhunter. We're spending more and more time looking back at the theater now and seriously the only way I think this works is if you go Rambo style and play it straight, sans cheese (Yes I know Rambo was originally serious, but does any other 80's film of the action genre lend itself to such parody?). Against all better judgement, bring back Ward (God love him.) and yes, Mulgrew (no doubt wishing she holds up as an aging Karen Black) and advance the characters' stories.
-
Sounds really bad and horribly simplistic. I'm not usually anti-comic or anything, but this
description makes me cringe.
And honestly... "The Destroyer"? What exactly does he destroy? Buildings? Planets? With a name like that, you'd better be able to do planetary damage, I'm talking cities smashed into rubble with some kind of matter-leveling power. Because otherwise it's a stupid name the character doesn't deserve.
After "The Dark Knight," you'd think Charles Roven could find something more spine-tingling than this.
The Destroyer? Give me a break. -
Seriously, that movie was horrible. I don;t understand why is was so cultishly popular at the time, and why that sentiment has stuck. The movie played like a bad spoof and just a series of scenes thrown together with no continuity whatsoever. What the movie did have, however, is the badass factor from its leading man and a whole lot of promise. It was just weighed down by its own ineptitude, IMO. Could this sequel work? Yes, but they must bring back Fred Ward and it must be taken seriously in a serious tongue-in-cheek sort of way, if that makes any sense. The spoof only works if you get the sense that the movie doesn't know that it is a spoof, and Remo Williams was perfect for that. Instead, it just seemed that no one's heart was in it from the word, "Go." This one isn't even on my radar but, like the first one did, it has the potential to be a pleasant surprise. Here's hoping they stick with the original cast and finally deliver on that promise.
-
Joel Grey's Chiun was such a great movie character and more than deserving of a return. And Grey deserves better than guest-starring roles on HOUSE, BUFFY and ALIAS.

This would be awesome. At one point I had read all the books when I was a kid like up to #60. The series was like a serial. Like Dick Tracy or Flash Gordon. Only more fleshed out. Who knows what # they are up to now. The books were way better than the movie though. The movie kinda sucked if you're looking at it from the books standpoint. Nothing like the books really. The books are hilarious for one. Williams and Chiun are crazy drunk characters. Absolutely bug nuts and deranged. Completely on a different wavelength as everyone else. And too, they are vigilantes. There's no hero stuff going on like in the movie. They are strictly assassins reporting directly to the president and his staff. The books are not only deleriously funny, but they are also very dark in tone. A lot of killing. A lot of violence. No where near as cartoonish as the movie. Would highly recommend the books to any one.
-
Follow the books, at least up to #70 after which they just weren't the same without Richard Sapir - the dark satire, the light humor, the violence, the great Remo/Chiun relationship - and this could be awesome. I love the 80's flick for different reasons (mainly the way they got the humor of the Remo/Chiun relationship right and Grey's supporting-actor worthy performance, not so much for the low grade attempts at action scenes) but just let that be. Give Ward, Mulgrew and Grey cameos, use Safan's music again, and find an actual martial artist to play Chiun. Someone Statham-like would rock as Remo. Please god not some 20-year-old.
-
TO all you guys who were fans of the books and fell off, the series ended at 145#. However, the books moved over to Tor and have been restarted as The New Destroyer: Guardian Angel, Choke Hold and Dead Reckoning. Oh, and Ben Browder for Remo!
-
All right, maybe I had the wrong impression of the story. Maybe it IS pretty badass. Reading the enthusiasm here for the comics lets me know there's a possibility of a good film.
The name "The Destroyer" struck me as pretty silly (on principle alone) but depending on what he destroys, maybe it makes sense. You know, from a mind/body perspective. Maybe he messes with the minds of his victims before he kicks their asses or kills them? Sort of "destroys their lives"?
I've never read the comic so I don't know. Maybe someone could enlighten me. -
Jul 10, 2009 12:02:36 PM CDT
Ben Stiller confirmed as Remo! Jet Li confirmed as Chiun!
by snake foreskin
Kate Mulgrew confirmed as the ugly hag with the awful voice that makes you want to commit suicide by defenustration! Okay, maybe just by running into rush hour traffic!
-
Fred Ward in Uncommon Valor as the tunnel rat with nightmares and as Virgil "Gus" Grissom in The Right Stuff... great parts for him. "It was a glitch! A technical malfunction!" I still say that sometimes out of nowhere.
-
He was the reincarnation of Shiva (The Destroyer). Chiun recognized this, I recall one of the books I think Remo was dropped out of a plain or something, killed his body, but Shiva took control then. Seem to remember it was a warzone tanks and stuff, and he was just kind of strolling through, ripping them all apart. Chiun pleaded to have Remo returned, Shiva agreed but it was a sort of "Don't forget he's mine, little man" kind of thing.
Haven't read the books in years, loved them though, and the movie was great. Patrick Kilpatrick the Tiffany Tooth, the eternal bad guy (I think except for one x-files episode?) The blend of humor, more of a story than most action flicks I remember from back then. Chiun was great, I remember the truck flipping over and over Remo runs down and there to rip the door off, he is sitting there holding a broken door handle, just to launch into one of his Korea diatribes. Or "Women should stay home and make babies!" "Ah, Blessed Silence!" Heh. Heheh. Ah, now I'm gonna have to go watch it again. -
stupid fingers
-
Yes.
-
Remo Williams is called "The Destroyer" because he ends up being the living embodiment of Shiva The Destroyer through his mastery of Sinanju, the secret Korean martial art that — in the series — is the "sun source" from which every other martial art in the world is diluted from.At the beginning, Remo's just a schlub cop, forced into being trained by Chiun into the ultimate assassin against his will (and Chiun's, who thinks anyone who's not Korean isn't worth training). However, over the course of the 100+ book series, Remo becomes QUITE the bad@$$, easily dodging bullets, ripping guys arms out of their sockets and beating them to death with them and inducing women into multiple blackout orgasms simply by touching certain nerve centers in their wrists. Think of Bruce Lee with super-strength and a quirky sense of humor.Marvel put out an over-sized b/w series for a short time back in the 90s, but the vast majority of the enthusiasm for Remo Williams stems from the novels, which are hilarious, action-packed and features frequent bickering between the sarcastic Remo and frequently-annoyed Chiun. And what Remo actually destroys are threats to the U.S. Government, which can't be dealt with through conventional means.

Yes, my apologies. I knew that. Defenestration it is.
by snake foreskin
I was typink too quickly and didn't review my work. I even wrote that into a TV show pilot once. Ah, yes. Death by defenestration. And it was a comedy!
-
"I am created, Shiva The Destroyer, Death the shatterer of Worlds. The dead night tiger made whole by the Master of Sinanju. What is this dog meat that challenges me now."
Great series of books combining a sense of humour with some great action and satire. The book series got a bit tired in the end and I think both authors lost a bit of interest before Sapir sadly died. However there is a wealth of material in the good books that would make a great series:
Ongoing battles with the Mafia
A superhuman shape changing robot
A renegade assassin with the same powers as Remo and Chiun.
A telekinetic psycopathic renegade assassin with better powers than Remo or Chiun.
Were-Tigers
Oh and as somebody mentions above it becomes very apparent as time goes by that, not only is Remo the greatest Master ever but that he is the Avatar of the Indian God of Destruction
The conceit is that Sinanju is the ultimate martial art of which others are just poor copies and that the Masters of Sinanju hire themselves out as hired killers...of course the US government gladly hires and our two heroes adventures flow from there.
The original film lacked bite and this isn't a remake if it concentrates on another story from the series. They need the actors to look right and Jason Statham isn't it. The two characters are basically thin rather than muscle men and its the fact that they are unprepossessing but incredibly deadly that adds to the fun...I'd have loved Bale for this but it is too similar to Batman for them to give it to him.
-
I think that crazy stuff all started here.
-
Now let's not fuck it up! I hope the scripters actually read the books...
