No dialogue, but hoping for doves flying in slow motion in the climax

His daughter set him up with an IG to provide updates on the film.

 

I love John Woo and genuinely thought he retired (rumours about health issues) but I am so stoked he's back. Dialogue free, purely Woo style and image making? Inject that into my veins.

John Woo is making a new movie?!

December 1 from Lionsgate. Time for the main section.

Dropping soon (might be in theaters right now as a Lionsgate attachment with Saw X and will be online next week).

The No dialogue thing has just been done by No One Will Save You and it doesn’t look as fun as Violent Night. 
 

They’re really banking on John Woo in the trailer. 

[Morieris]

don't know if another vengeful parent narrative will be enough to get me there

[Pinacolada]

I was hoping for more of a noir look and feel to the movie. Sadly it's not that. A lot of the day time stuff looks pretty bad

 

Action looks sick as fuck though. I'll be there, if it's not a disaster or anything

 

December 1 is kinda fucking packed now with Silent Night, The Bikeriders, Renaissance looking to do like $50m+, and Godzilla Minus One which I think could do kinda decently in the US. 

 

Somethings gotta move right?

I doubt it, majority of those movies are on the niche side in terms of appeal and won't fare much better on any other weekend. They'll collectively be on the way out by the time the busy Christmas frame arrives.

Nvm this is now my most hyped film for the rest of the year (i've been watching this trailer on repeat throughout the day, at least 10 times now ha).

GOD Woo

This movie looks like violent, bloody awesomeness!! This is the type of action I want to see from Woo. Much more in line with The Killer, Hard Boiled and even Face Off. Definitely will be seeing this OW.

This one supposedly had great test-screenings, for what it's worth.

Long range predictions saying $5-10m OW and $13-30m DOM.

 

I def think this is one that'll require strong WOM/reviews to push that opening up beyond just action die hards. And if timed right for Xmas, could do very well on PVOD.

Just premiered in LA last night, public screening at the Aero. Judging from Twitter and LB...it's getting strong reception. Looks like Woo is back!

The no dialogue bit is interesting, but will definently hurt it with Mainstream audiences.

I get the impression that aside from the no dialogue gimmick, it's pretty much a standard issue John Woo action film.

Audences say they want  fresh aporached to film making, but they generally stay away from films that do offer something different.
