The 1997 action film starring John Travolta and Nicolas Cage is getting a reboot.
The original was directed by John Woo from Mike Werb and Michael Colleary’s script. This time around Oren Uziel will be penning the script, however, no director has boarded the project. Neal Moritz will produce and original producer David Permut is set to executive produce.
The original film’s logline reads: “Obsessed with bringing terrorist Castor Troy (Cage) to justice, FBI agent Sean Archer (Travolta) tracks down Troy, who has boarded a plane in Los Angeles. After the plane crashes and Troy is severely injured, possibly dead, Archer undergoes surgery to remove his face and replace it with Troy’s. As Archer tries to use his disguise to elicit information about a bomb from Troy’s brother, Troy awakes from a coma and forces the doctor who performed the surgery to give him Archer’s face.”
Face/Off went on to earn $245 million global earning on an $80 million budget.
