'The Man from Nowhere' will soon have its Hollywood version as the people behind the massive success of 'John Wick' film franchise is set to work again for the project.

Taken from the latest news by Deadline, the director and the writer of the three 'John Wick' films— Chad Stahelski and Derek Kolstad—will be joining again for the upcoming Hollywood remake of the 2010 smash hit 'The Man From Nowhere.' (via Soompi)

Chad Stahelski, together with Jason Spitz through their production banner 87Eleven Entertainment, is said to produce the upcoming film. At the same time, the script for the remake is set to be penned by Derek Kolstad.

According to Deadline, the insiders said the execs are very high on the text that Kolstad just conveyed and plan on meeting with directors for the job, as Stahelski is not expected to direct.

Furthermore, Chad Stahelski, according to sources, will only be involved in the production and not at all in the directing. Also, the Hollywood version will be participated by CJ E&M in the joint production.

Stahelski and his banner 87Eleven Entertainment, though been busy with the John Wick franchise for a couple of years, have stayed quite active on the producing front. They are currently helming the reboot of the cult classic 'Highlander' at Lionsgate, which Stahelski will be directing.

Per Zapzee, the movie 'The Man From Nowhere,' which became a box office hit in 2010, attracted more than 6 million moviegoers, at the time, despite being R-rated. It was a dark, gritty action movie that became the highest-grossing film in South Korea after its run earning $42 million in the box office.

Won Bin starred the original 'The Man from Nowhere,' where he plays a mysterious man who takes on a trafficking ring to save the young child that became his only friend (played by Kim Sae Ron). It was then directed and written by Jeong Beon Lee.
