Pikachu Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/face-reboot-works-at-paramount-1238422 Quote Paramount is bringing back Face/Off. The high-concept action film is getting a reboot via 22 Jump Street scribe Oren Uziel, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed. John Travolta and Nicolas Cage starred in the 1997 action-thriller from John Woo, which centers on two arch enemies exchanging each other's identities (and faces). The story follows FBI agent Sean Archer (Travolta), who is tracking down terrorist Castor Troy (Cage). When Troy boards a plane in Los Angeles that crashes and is severely injured, Archer undergoes surgery to remove his face and replace it with Troy's in order to go undercover as the criminal. In a twist, Troy then awakes from a coma and forces the doctor who performed the surgery give him Archer's face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 NOTHING will ever compare to the wonderfully ludicrous original! NOTHING! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Does it really count as a reboot if it was a single movie that never intended to have a sequel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatoneshere Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Only way this works is it's a remake where they get Woo, Cage, and Travolta back but Cage and Travolta play the opposite roles than they did in the first one, further confusing matters. Boom, done. Money made. Otherwise this is a horrible idea and the first is untouchable, a perfect 90's film from a certain time and place and era.

silentbob Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Well if they went with Cage again, he would try to find an actual way to get himself that new face. If not we have Jason Statham that volunteered to do so a few years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStar189 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Face/Off 2 starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Kevin Hart. The Rock is in everything and since it's a remake they can make it a comedy. They switch faces and no one can tell haha. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicolas Cage is actually a really great actor who has a lot of tax/money issues that began in the mid-2000's. Anyone who has seen Leaving Las Vegas, Adaptation, Kick-Ass, and many more know this to be the case. Edit: I misunderstood, my bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just poking fun at Merc because he used the batting average numeration incorrectly for what he was trying to say :P I was about to list out a bunch of other Cage movies I love but actually I'll just say pretty much everything he did up through about 2005 was at least watchable while most of it was pretty damn good.

Lol after I posted it I realized I put the decimal point in the wrong spot but I was too lazy to fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
