Johnny To to direct LEON 2 (second film from THE PROFESSIONAL world)
Hey folks, Harry here... AccSpy and Ye Meng both sent in news about the sequel/prequel/whatever from the world of THE PROFESSIONAL/LEON... Now in my picks for the best of 2001, number 10 was FULL TIME KILLER, Johnny To's latest masterpiece. To is a director that will be known as a severe badass! I'm telling you right now that he can make this sort of movie wonderfully... if he has the script to shoot from. In FULL TIME KILLER's case he had a wonderful shooting script. Will Luc Besson be producing or writing? That's my only question at the moment.... well along with... what's the film about?
Hi Harry,
AccSpy from asia-aicn. Here's a news too exciting that I can't wait 'til
next
thursday: HK Oriental Daily reported that Johnnie To, the director of
action thriller like Fulltime Killer and Running out of Time 2, will
direct the sequel of Leon: The Professional, and To's only request is:
to bring back Jean Reno.
On the other hand, Apple Daily reported that Stephen Chow is negotiating
to show "Shaolin Soccer" in the US with original Cantonese langeage,
while Miramax prefers dubbing.
You don't need to post it on the site coz I would sent it again in th
eweekly column anyway, just thought you would interest.
Happy New Year!
AccSpy
Here's what Ye Meng had to say...
Hi, Harry!
Ye is here!
Not sure this is true or just a rumor: according to
Hong Kong's Oriental Daily, Johnny To had replaced Luc
Besson as the director of the sequel of LÉON 2 and he
even wants to bring Jean Réno back for this one. Not
sure how he is going to do that since Léon, played by
Jean Réno, died in the end of the original.
Johnny To is the newest generation of Hong Kong's long
history of gunplay movies. His works include LIFELINE,
RUNNING OUT OF TIME, THE MISSION, FULLTIME KILLER and
the newly released RUNNING OUT OF TIME 2.
