Joe Carnahan confirmed on Twitter that he is not only producing the remake, but that he is also attached to direct The Raid “reimagining” as well.
The first two Raid films have been critical hits, but have not achieved mainstream popularity yet.
As the movie industry continues to become more global, the concept of remaking foreign films has not died down.
While there’s not a widespread demand to see a U.S. remake of The Raid franchise right now, the hope is that such a film would bring the cult hit, ultra-violent crime action/drama franchise the attention of a much larger audience.
