It's a scenario nobody could have predicted in advance: Swedish director Anders Banke (Frostbite) directing a Russian remake of Hong Kong action film Breaking News by Johnnie To. But predictable or not it has happened, it's called Newsmakers, it stars a veritable who's who of prime Russian actors, it opens in April and the first teaser is on screens now in Russia. And thanks to the kind hearted Banke that teaser is also here on Twitch - in subtitled form, no less. You'll find it below the break.
Looks like b-movie (using Russian measures)
Hopefully this is better than the recent Russian riff on Fincher's The Game.....THE GHOST (DOMOVOY)
I pretty much hated Frostbite and Breaking News is a fantastic film so this will have to be handled very well for them to pull this off.
