It’s been a long long time since they first made their epic pairing in the well regarding John Woo

The first is Shrapnel, written by Evan Dougherty and directed by John McTiernan. The second is Sea Trial, based on the novel by Frank De Felitta…
Shrapnel is about “a former Bosnian soldier who seeks vengeance against the American who badly wounded him by disguising a deadly war game as a friendly backwoods hunting trip.”

Chuck Roven is producing Sea Trial, which would be written and directed by Raymond De Felitta (City Island) based on his father’s book. The novel sounds sort of like Hostel on the seven seas as an adulterous couple set out to take a nice, romantic cruise only to find things on the ship are not what they seem.
Both projects sound interesting enough with Cage and Travolta and I would be interested in seeing either one if they become a reality. I liked City Island for its dialogue and small town feeling, and could see that passive tone creating a fun thriller. I’m hoping any one of them get made if both actors are allowed and able to bring the level of performances and chemistry that helped make them household names in the 90’s with Face/Off. I’m just glad they’re not trying to make a sequel or re-use remake.
