John Woo involved with ‘High Noon’ …

So, I’m REALLY pumped about this news, even though there’s not a great deal of beef to it. As some of you may have concluded, I have a slightly out-dated but strong appreciation for a “good” western film and find it rather sad that the genre’s nearly dead. So, anytime I find out a new western is in the works, it gets me, shall we say, a little randy… Anyway, it gets better.

Apparently, and I apologize if my sources go unconfirmed, but this “news” as I said is a bit hear-say at this point in time… apparently, John Woo is attached (perhaps, unofficially) to at least produce. Now word on whether he’ll direct, but that would be awesome. I mean, come on… Mr. Woo of Hard Boiled and The Killers doing a western! Granted, it may sound like a remake, but in reality it would be only vaguely such if you consider comparing the 1952 original starring Gary Cooper to anything modern from John Woo.

Sources suggest the following are included amongst the cast of this film which is reportedly already in the set-production phase… Rutger Hauer! OK, we can stop right there… that’s all I need to hear. Yes, I LOVE Rutger Hauer. But, it gets better… the cast allegedly also includes Sean Bean, Jordan Bayne and Cillian Murphy, of whom I am also a big fan.
