Not content to just remake Johnnie To’s “The Mission”, Hollywood is now geared up to remake To’s “Exiled”, the pseudo sequel to “The Mission”. In the original, five professional gunman converge on Macau, where they cross a violent crimelord in a final blaze of glory. Now Variety reports that Media Asia, the Hong Kong company that produced “Exiled”, has successfully pimped the film to Samuel Hadida, who will produce the film for a Hollywood studio. Other Hong Kong movies of late that have been sold for a remake includes “Confession of Pain” (with Leonardo DiCaprio attached) and the in-production Jessica Alba horror movie “The Eye”.
