Here’s something you didn’t think you’d need in your life; a remake of John Woo’s The Killer which is set for Peacock stateside very soon. No? How about if I add that this is directed by the action maestro himself and that it features a cast that includes Eric Cantona? Game? So are we.
The action thriller stars Emmy nominee Nathalie Emmanuel as Zee, a mysterious and infamous assassin known, and feared, in the Parisian underworld as the Queen of the Dead. But when, during an assignment from her shadowy mentor and handler (Sam Worthington), Zee refuses to kill a blinded young woman (Diana Silvers) in a Paris nightclub, the decision will disintegrate Zee’s alliances, attract the attention of a savvy police investigator (Golden Globe nominee Omar Sy; Jurassic World franchise, Lupin), and plunge her into a sinister criminal conspiracy that will set her on a collision course with her own past.
And Eric Cantona.
This is headed to Peacock in the U.S. from 23rd August with a UK release to be set. I hope this comes to Sky Cinema or the like (Peacock is owned by Sky’s parent Comcast) in the UK or even in cinemas. Check out the trailer below.
Warning: Contains Heroic bloodshed.
