Action director, John Woo, is set to direct The Red Circle for Paramount Pictures. The film will be a remake of the 1970 film Le Cercle Rouge, and is an action thriller centered on a thief who is released from prison the same day a murderer escapes police custody. The outlaws pair up and commit a heist as a relentless cop closes in.

Apparently Arthur Sarkissian, who will be one of the producers on the pic obtained remake rights to the remake a while back and has been trying to get it off the ground, but don't count on this one hitting theaters too soon considering Woo is readying The Rock for his videogame adaptation flick Spy Hunter, plus his plans to direct The War of the Red Cliff based on Asian historical events from the year 200 A.D.

Not only that his name also floated around the next Tom Clancy book in line to be turned into a feature film over at Paramount Pictures, Rainbow Six.
