Cult from the 90s: this action movie offered an unforgettable showdown between the stars! What about next?

Is this lack of information really bad news? Announced for 2019, the Volte/Face sequel has some viewers up in arms, arguing that we can’t touch John Woo’s action flick, in which John Travolta and Nicolas Cage, dumber than ever, swap faces.

Five years later, there has been no significant progress on the project while Hollywood grapples with Covid and the subsequent writers and actors strike. And that its director Adam Wingard set up the confrontation and then the alliance of Godzilla and King Kong in cinema.

he asked Gizmodo On March 15th, while promoting Godzilla x Kong (in theaters April 3rd here), the director weighed in and confirmed that the project has not been abandoned. Which, depending on your point of view, could be good or bad news.

“In the middle of filming, we finished our version of the script”he explains. “And since we were both busy working on other things, there was talk of rewrites and we brought in another writer to do them.”

“Today the project is still dormant”

“But the writers’ strike came and that set it back. Today, the project is still dormant, so I guess the idea is that this writer continues his work, and that when his work is finished, Simon and I will discuss it. again.”

While he explained a few years ago that Volte/Face 2 wouldn’t be a reboot, but a sequel, Adam Wingard hasn’t given any further details. On the approach or casting and possible presence of John Travolta and Nicolas Cage.

But we will still have to be patient, because according to his words, the project is not ready for success.
