John Woo Set To Direct 'Paycheck'
[Tuesday, October 22nd, 2002]John Woo is in negotiations to direct Paramount Pictures' "Paycheck", says Hollywood Reporter.
Based on a short story by Philip K. Dick, "Paycheck" is a futuristic tale of a man who has part of his memory erased and begins to find clues to his whereabouts for the past two years.
Dean Georgaris adapted the screenplay, which saw Brett Ratner attached to direct. However, Ratner departed the project last month to direct Warner Bros. Pictures' "Superman" (HR 9/25).
The project is aimed to go into production in February.
