Action movie director John Woo (
Paycheck) says his next project will be a musical, something he describes as a cross between The Killer and Cabaret.
"We have almost got a finished script right now," he told
Empire. "It is an ambitious project. I have been dreaming of making this for seven years. It is an American gangster story, based on a true story. In the 1920s there was a gang boss who was also a great dancer. It’s also a love story – this guy was in love with two women. So it’s a new kind of challenge, a new kind of experiment."
“There’s going to be a lot of dance and a lot of action. Sometimes the action will look pretty much like dance and the dance will look pretty much like action."
