The remake was due to commence filming this coming September however Variety is currently reporting that production will now not start until sometime during 2015.
Pre-production has been closed down though the film has not been canceled with rumours that they are holding out for a bigger star to lead the film. Up until now producers have been in talks with stars as varied as Luke Evans, Ethan Hawke, Anthony Mackie and Frank Grillo. At the moment it is thought that director Patrick Hughes will still direct.
