Dimension Films Plans The Man From Nowhere

Dimension Films announced today that they have acquired the rights to the English-language remake of The Man From Nowhere. The original South Korean action thriller was 2010s highest-grossing film at the Korean box office, surpassing blockbusters such as Inception and Iron Man 2.

ā€œWe have always been huge action and martial arts fans and are getting back into the genre in a big way with ā€˜The Man From Nowhere,'ā€ said Bob Weinstein, co-chairman of The Weinstein Company. ā€œItā€™s a slick, fast-paced action thriller anchored by a strong emotional relationship that audiences are going to love.ā€

Dimension has tapped Shawn Christensen (Abduction) to pen the script. The original film follows a quiet pawnshop keeper with a violent past who takes on a drug- and organ-trafficking ring to save the child who is his only friend.

ā€œI am excited and honored to work alongside Bob and the team at Dimension,ā€ said Christensen. ā€œIā€™m a huge fan of the original ā€˜The Man From Nowhere,ā€™ and look forward to bringing it to American audiences.Ā”
