When the news first broke, many had taken the announcement to mean that Wingard would reimagine Face/Off as a reboot of the original movie.
Stop calling Face/Off 2 a reboot or remake, as director Adam Wingard insists that the sequel is going to be the “definitive follow-up” to the original.
While continuing to stress that Face/Off 2 is a sequel and not a reboot or remake, Wingard also revealed that the screenplay is nearly complete.
The original Face/Off was written by Mike Werb and Michael Colleary and directed by John Woo.
