a director (with) plans to start production in late fall." That fits in with this new rumor we've heard about Woo being offered the project. Again, we must stress that the prospect of another team-up between the director and star of The Killer, Hard-Boiled, and A Better Tomorrow is just a rumor right now. Our source implied that The Line was just one of many possible options open to Woo so it might not happen. Still, you'd have to be dead not to be excited by the possibility of Woo and Yun-Fat finally pairing for a big American feature film after years of failed efforts (like King's Ransom). After extending his filmmaking range with the military drama Windtalkers, it'd be nice to see John Woo tackle yet another dark chapter from American history such as the grueling experience of Asian immigrants that worked on the railroads of the Old West.– STAX hopes Woo will walk The Line.
