ot yet released in its South Korean homeland, The Gangster, The Cop, The Devil is receiving an English-language remake with lead actor Don Lee reprising his role.
A crime boss and a police officer team up to catch a serial killer in The Gangster, The Cop, The Devil, and Hollywood action movie star Sylvester Stallone is already backing the South Korean thriller for an English-langauge adaptation.
According to the film’s Korean trailer, a detective teams up with the leader of an organized crime network to track down and capture a serial killer that almost claimed the gangster’s life.
Lead actor Don Lee will remain in place to play the gangster, with Stallone’s company Balboa Productions linking up with Korean agency BA Entertainment for the project.
Lee, like Stallone, becomes one of the movie’s producers.
