John Woo's 'The Killer' Remake Debuts Trailer with Gender-Swapped Lead

Nathalie Emmanuel stars in the reimagined version of Woo's 1989 classic, set to premiere on Peacock next month.

The film follows a notorious assassin who refuses to kill a young woman, leading to a series of dramatic events.
Omar Sy plays the detective on the assassin's trail, a role originally played by Danny Lee.
The remake features Woo's signature style, including slow-motion action and emotional intensity.
Originally planned in the 1990s, the remake faced delays and casting changes before finalizing with Emmanuel.
'The Killer' marks Woo's return to Hollywood, following his recent film 'Silent Night.'
