STORY OF A DISCHARGED PRISONER REMAKE

Andy Lau is rumored to be attached to a remake of Hong Kong's classic Lung Kong film, STORY OF A DISCHARGED PRISONER. The Patrick Tse movie was about an ex-con trying, and mostly failing, to make his way in the free world and it served as something of an inspiration for John Woo's A BETTER TOMORROW. Now, Stephen Fung (director of the not-as-good-as-it-should-have-been HOUSE OF FURY) is interested in directing a remake and Focus Films will be trying to test the reactions of  international buyers in the movie at Cannes.

A spokesperson for Focus says, ""We are at an early stage of development. We don't have a script yet but Andy likes the story."
