The Raid remake is falling apart

The planned U.S. remake of The Raid is hitting some snags. Taylor Kitsch (John Carter, True Survivor) and director Patrick Hughes (The Expendables 3) have reportedly walked away from the project.

To make matters worse, Screen Gems is no longer involved, meaning that XYZ films doesn't have a distributor for the remake.

This isn't the first issue that The Raid has run into. Frank Grillo (Warrior, The Grey) previously said that the studio delayed the project because it wasn't happy with a critical character.

"The Raid’ was a go movie and there was one character, the critical character, that they were just not happy with. There’s not a lot of 30-something guys out there that… there’s a lot of training, a lot of martial arts training. They weren’t going to remake ‘The Raid,’ which is a beloved film, if they couldn’t find a guy who could find the physical stuff and they hadn’t been able to do that," he told SlashFilm.

As a result of these delays, the remake of 2011's The Raid may not happen for some time.
