John Woo Directs Half-Musical Film with Sparks

John Woo, renowned for his action films, is set to direct a unique 'half-musical' titled 'X Crucior' in collaboration with the pop duo Sparks, who are responsible for the script and music. This project marks a significant departure from Woo's typical genre, as it will be his first film where he won't require stuntmen. The collaboration was hinted at via a social media post by Sparks, enhancing excitement around the project. Woo has been vocal about his desire to create a musical since the 1990s, and this film appears to fulfill that long-held ambition. Besides 'X Crucior', Woo is also developing a Western project scripted by Brian Helgeland, which he describes as rich in romance and action. The announcement comes after Woo's recent ventures, including a remake of 'The Killer' and the silent film 'Silent Night'.
