It’s been reported by Deadline that Transformers director Michael Bay has hired Patrick Hughes to oversee a new version of Gareth Evans’ acclaimed action film The Raid.
One Twitter user stated: The Raid is the best action and/or martial arts movie I have ever seen.
Director Hughes’ previous credits include The Expendables 3, The Hitman’s Bodyguard and, most recently, The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard.
The new version will be set in Philadelphia and is said to have “excited” Evans, who will executive produce the film.
