An Indonesian remake of the hit Korean action thriller The Man from Nowhere is in the works, Variety reports.
Joe Taslim (The Raid, Mortal Kombat II) is set to star, with Kenji Tanigaki (The Furious) in talks to direct.
The remake comes from a new joint venture between Asia Media Alliance Group and Nation Pictures to develop and produce genre films from Indonesia and Southeast Asia for global audiences.
Red Packet Media and Yeti Entertainment are also producing the new take on The Man from Nowhere, with K-Movie on board as sales agent.
While you wait for the remake, the original The Man from Nowhere is now streaming on the Bloody Disgusting-powered Screambox.
In the film, Cha Tae-Sik is a widower with a mysterious past. When a young girl he befriends is kidnapped by a vicious drug gang, Tae-Sik rushes to save her. Hellbent on justice after being framed by the nasty criminals, he takes the law into his own hands.
Written and directed by Lee Jeong-beom, The Man from Nowhere was the highest-grossing film of 2010 in South Korea. Won Bin, Kim Sae-ron, Kim Hee-won, and Kim Hyo-seo star.
Screambox is the largest streaming service dedicated to horror. Bloody Disgusting readers get an exclusive introductory offer of three months for a total of $6.66.
