The killer with Omar Sy reveals himself
The project, announced in August 2022, has had a very long development time, especially due to the Hollywood strikes of 2023. But as the first images of The killer, a contemporary reinvention of his 1989 cult thriller, John Woo’s new film starring Omar Sy and Nathalie Emmanuel in the lead roles is now ready for its next broadcast. And with these first images a broadcast date was also given.
For this “remake” of his film, or rather this American adaptation, John Woo and his screenwriter Brian Helgeland made many changes, starting with the locations of the action. In fact, it is right now in Paris that this story takes place, in which a hitman, Zee (Nathalie Emmanuel reprising her role played by Chow Yun-Fat in the 1989 film), will make a decision that will attract the attention of police officer Sy (Omar Sy) and unleash the fury of her sponsor Finn, played by Sam Worthington .
Thus in these first images we discover these two main characters, who will have to act together to unravel a criminal plot, which will confront Zee with his past.
An international cast and many French people
Omar Sy and Nathalie Emmanuel are particularly present in the casting Tcheky Karyo, Eric Cantona AND Gregorio Montelas well as Taghmaoui said. Already inspired by the New Wave and the films of Jean-Pierre Melville The killer in 1989, John Woo fully captured this inspiration, which is why this new film is set in Paris.
For the moment, only one broadcast in the United States is planned on the platform Peacockfrom the August 23, 2024. Fingers crossed that The Killer arrives, in theaters or on streaming, quickly in France too.
