‘THE RAID’ REMAKE: Joe Carnahan! Frank Grillo!
XYZ, who is behind so many awesome indie genre films, as well as Gareth Evans’ 2011 The Raid: Redemption, just revealed that the remake is back in development. A remake? But remakes are bad! No, not this one…
Evans is backing and producing said remake with Joe Carnahan directing and Frank Grillo starring!
Grillo is quickly becoming our modern action hero, having starred in Captain America, as well as the past two Purge sequels. He’s as badass as they come, and will roundhouse the living shit out of whomever they place in front of him.
What about that Carnahan guy? He only directed Narc, Smokin’ Aces, The A-Team and mother fucking The Grey, starring Liam Neeson. He’s an action guru who’s going to lead Grillo up several flights of misery.
Evans also directed the excellent The Raid sequel, and is developing a third. This is going to be a global franchise.
KICK TO THE FACE!
Sony returns to their own Marvel universe with the upcoming Kraven the Hunter, which has been bumped all over the release schedule. This week, it’s been bumped once more.
There was a time when Sony was going to unleash Kraven in theaters in October 2023, but the film was then bumped to August 2024. It’ll now release on December 13, 2024.
Kraven the Hunter will be the very first Marvel movie from Sony to be released into theaters with an “R” rating, with lots of bloody violence being promised.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the title character, Marvel’s ultimate predator.
“Kraven the Hunter is the visceral story about how and why one of Marvel’s most iconic villains came to be. Set before his notorious vendetta with Spider-Man, Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the titular character in the R-rated film.”
Ariana DeBose will play Calypso in the upcoming Kraven the Hunter movie.
Christopher Abbott (Possessor) is playing The Foreigner, with Levi Miller (Better Watch Out) also on board. Alessandro Nivola (The Many Saints of Newark) will play another villain, but character details are under wraps. Russell Crowe and Fred Hechinger also star.
