The film is already in pre-production with Bloom learning different martial art techniques to be used in the film. The Red Circle is set to start filming in Hong Kong in 2009. According to IMDb, Chow Yun-Fat, Liam Neeson, and Alain Delon are tentative co-stars. Hong Kong director John Woo wrote an essay for the Criterion DVD of Le Cercle rouge arguing the film’s merits.
