John Woo fires off ‘Caliber’

July 17, 2008

From Variety:

John Woo will direct comicbook adaptation “Caliber,” to be unveiled at next week’s Comic-Con in San Diego.

Pic looks likely to be a three-way co-production of Johnny Depp’s Infinitum Nihil, Barry Levine’s Radical Comics and Lion Rock, the U.S.-based shingle that Woo runs with longstanding partner Terence Chang.

Radical Comics’ hit story sets King Arthur and his knights as 19th century gunslingers in the Pacific Northwest.

“Caliber” is unlikely to be Woo’s next pic. He is editing part two of his epic “Red Cliff” for a January release in Asia and will deliver an international version shortly thereafter.
