The action thriller will be Woo's first American film since 2003's 'Paycheck.'
The Big Picture John Woo is finally slated to make his return to American cinemas with Silent Night, which will mark the acclaimed Hong Kong filmmaker's first Hollywood project in two decades. Fans won't have to wait much longer to catch the action film, as distributor, Lionsgate, has dated Silent Night for a December 1 theatrical release.
"Some people thought like, 'Oh, that's easy. You don't have to learn any lines,' but it's not, because the eyes don't lie. And often the dialogue, it will help you get there. It would help you get emotionally there. So it's actually a lot harder to portray everything that you just have to have that kind of inner life and that inner motor and those thought processes going for real. You just can't hide.
It was another spec script that I was given and read, and I was like, 'This is either going to be a genius move or a disaster, there's no in between.' It's execution dependent for sure. I mean, John Woo kills it. Joel Kinnaman is the star and really delivers. I mean, there's some ambient noise and background and chatter like radio and stuff like that. But, yeah, it's awesome. I can't wait for you to see it.
