THE WOO WHO CRIED WOLF

John Woo may be setting a record for the most number of announced film projects in development. While he actually makes classics like PAYCHECK and WINDTALKERS he has announced -

- HE-MAN, the Masters of the Universe flick
- THE RED CIRCLE, a remake of the Jean Pierre Melville flick
- SPY HUNTER, with The Rock
- THE WAR OF RED CLIFF
- EVITA 2, the sequel nobody wanted
- THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, with John Travolta
- SHADOW WAR
- ESPIONAGE FOR DUMMIES, based on the "for Dummies" book series
- TEARS OF THE SUN
- TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES
- FACE/OFF 2, although that seemed to be more of a rumor than official
- LAND OF DESTINY

And now a new, untitled project. There's even an article about it here.

I'm hoping he never makes another movie again and just keeps announcing them. The image of an elderly Woo, rattling his cane and bouncing in his barcalounger as he announces the live-action MY LITTLE PONY movie to a bored nursing staff thrills me to no end.
