Huh. Ain't that something.

Refn producing, Ed Brubaker writing and John Hyams directing is a dream team. I'd love for John Hyams to adapt Brubaker's Sleeper one day.

 

[Snow Queen]

...what?

EDIT: Oh hang on, I was thinking of Psycho Cop. I'm mixing up my crazy cop movies.

 

[ThePhantasm]

get your **** together, Snow Queen! gahd!!

 

[EllissonWatson]

hehhehehhehee

 

[Snow Queen]

get your **** together, Snow Queen! gahd!!

You can only watch so many crazy cop movies before they start to blend together.

 

[NotSoLongAgo]

Oh ****! This should be interesting

 

[StarLord]

That's pretty sweet. I loved Hyams' Universal Soldier: Day Of Reckoning. It's like Fight Club meets Apocalypse Now.

 

[dude stannis]

Yep. With action scenes from The Raid.

I watched the third one last night and while I thought it was bad, it is still better than the second one, which is boring.

I liked the all parts. All parts are beautifully directed.

Other previously announced projects include Claire Denis’s space fantasy High Life, starring Robert Pattinson, Patricia Arquette and Mia Goth; Lino Disalvio’s Playmobil, which the company is co-selling with Lionsgate, and the Nicolas Winding Refn-produced Maniac Cop.

“We’ll have a new script co-written by Ed Brubaker and John Hyams at Cannes. It’s due to shoot in August,” said Maraval on Maniac Cop.

 

[terry78]

Brubaker is writing this? **** me.

 

[StarLord]

Can someone move this thread to TV?

 

[Doctor Jones]

Does a simple concept of a 80 minute film really need to be made into a TV series? Can't things just be movies and we can show restraint?

 

[terry78]

Nope everything needs a backstory and side stories as a vehicle for other actors.

 

[Closerframe]

After the borefest that was Too Old to Die Young, I don't have confidence in Refn's ability to make a good show. He'll probably add underage relationships and borderline incest like he seems to have an interest in.

 

[NDX]

Just give me Bride of Maniac Cop instead. I'd prefer a sequel 20 years later than a show.
