Joel Kinnaman is set to star in Silent Night, a new movie fr▨om iconic Hong Kong action director John Woo, reports.

The movie, which will see Kinnaman play a normal father who heads into the underworld to avenge his young son’s death, won't include any dialogue – it'll be anything but silent, though, with plenty of action. Joh𝓡n Wick’s Basil Iwanyk is on board as a producer, and other casting is reportedly currently underway. 

This is Woo's first Hollywood movie since 2003's Paycheck, a sci-fi action movie based on the Philip K. Dick short story of the same name starring Ben Affleck, Uma Thurman, and Michael C. Hall. Woo has directed other American movies like Face/Off, starring John Travolta and Nicolas Cage, and Mission: Impossible 2, but the Hong Kong filmmaker is best known for making actioners in his home country, including A Better Tomorrow, The Killer, and Bullet in the 🍌Head.

Kinnaman, meanwhile, was last seen on the big screen as Rick Flag in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Suicide Squad, a role he also played in 2016's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Suicide Squad. He also played the title role in 2014's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:RoboCop remake and appeared in David Fincher's version of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, as well as taking on small screen role👍s in shows like The Killing, House of Car💜ds, Altered Carbon, and For All Mankind.
