After spending a few years mostly producing other filmmakers’ work, James Wan is heading back behind the camera for a remake of 2019 Korean crime thriller ‘The Gangster, The Cop, The Devil.’

Action Thriller Crime

The script for this one comes from ‘Fantastic Four: First Steps’ Eric Pearson, though the likes of Shay Hatten (‘Resident Evil’) and Brian Helgeland (‘L.A. Confidential’) previously worked on it.

The basic story for this one follows a police officer and a crime boss who reluctantly team-up to track down a serial killer. With each having their own motives to capture the killer, double-crosses and cat-and-mouse games ensue, along with a load of police-vs-criminals and gang-vs-gang action.

Where else can we see Keanu Reeves?

Most recently seen in ‘Outcome,’ Reeves has a few movies either in the works or on the way, including satire ‘The Entertainment System Is Down’ and ‘Sonic the Hedgehog 4’ (where he voices Shadow), plus sci-fi movie ‘Shiver.’
