"The European filmmaker felt attracted toward the strong storyline of 'The Merciless'," CJ Entertainment said in a statement on Monday, adding the South Korean entertainment giant will collaborate with Swiss filmmaker Pathe Films to create an English remake of the 2017 film to target the American and European markets simultaneously.
"The Merciless", a crime-action film starring veteran actor Sol Kyung-gu and popular singer-actor Im Siwan, depicts a story about loyalty and betrayal between an inmate leader and an undercover cop. "The Merciless" was released in South Korea in May 2017 and failed to garner one million viewers before the film came off the silver screens.
