Director Joel
Schumacher has pitched a bid to develop Breaking
News, a remake of a Hong Kong action movie that
premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 2004, reports
Reuters.
The story follows
the aftermath of a live TV news broadcast that reveals
an embarrassing defeat of a police battalion by five bank
robbers in a heart-pounding shoot-out. While on a
separate investigation a detective discovers the
hideout of the robbers. But the plot takes a turn when the
inspector decides to turn his discovery into a breaking-news
show.
The original was
directed and produced by filmmaker Johnnie To. (The
