On Friday, September 5th, Lionsgate and Nicolas Cage will roll out the English language remake of the Pang Brothers’ BANGKOK DNAGEROUS, with the Pang brothers at the helm and screenwriter Jason Richman putting a slight different spin on their 1999 screenplay. Their 1999 version was recently re-released – August 5th, 2008 – by First Look Pictures on DVD. If you’re not familiar with the Pang Brothers, these are the Hong Kong film mavericks that created “The Eye (aka Jian gui)” franchise, “Infernal Affairs (aka Mou gaan dou)” that the Academy Award winning “The Departed” was based on, and “Re-Cycle (aka Gwai wik)” that recently had a run on the Sundance Channel on Demand. They made their American debut with the Ghost House Pictures’ film, produced by Sam Rami, “The Messengers.”
