The Hollywood Reporter has announced that Sly Stallone will team with Don (Train to Busan) Lee to remake the South Korean thriller The Gangster, The Cop, The Devil. 

Stallone and Lee will be joined by Braden Aftergood and Jang Won-seok to produce the remake through Stallone’s Balboa Productions.  Lee will reprise his role from the original film… 

In the film, Lee plays a gangster who survives a lethal attack by a serial killer. He forms an unlikely partnership with a cop (Lee Mu-yeol) to help track down the murderer (Kim Seong-gyu).

The Gangster, the Cop, the Devil is set to premiere at the  Cannes Film Festival and then we go worldwide in 104 territories later in May.

“Cop Land” Gets the Cinephilia Treatment!

Craig / / 2019, Celebs, Cop Land

Cop Land features one of Sylvester Stallone’s finest performances.  Written and directed by James Mangold, Cop Land is a modern day western and Mangold knew that it’s success hinged on the actor cast as Freddy Heflin.

Stallone wanted the role despite the fact that Mangold had zero interest in him.  Mangold explained to Stallone all of the reasons he was wrong for the role.  Stallone persisted and promised that none of Mangold’s concerns would become reality.

Stallone earned the role and Mangold got his Freddy Heflin.  Cop Land surprised critics who’d forgotten or doubted Stallone’s acting chops.
