This was announced a month ago and I'm only finding out about it now.

The 1997 action movie “Face/Off,” which starred John Travolta and Nicolas Cage, is getting a reboot.

Paramount has hired “22 Jump Street” screenwriter Oren Uziel to pen the script with Neal Moritz producing. David Permut, who was a producer on the original film, will executive produce. No actors or director has yet boarded the reboot.

John Woo directed the original movie from Mike Werb and Michael Colleary’s script. Travolta and Cage played FBI agent Sean Archer and terrorist Castor Troy, respectively, who each took on the other’s physical appearance via surgery in a complicated story triggered by the assassination of Archer’s son by Troy.

“Face/Off” also starred Joan Allen, Gina Gershon and Alessadro Nivola as Troy’s brother. The film, which carried an $80 million budget, was a solid performer with a $245 million global gross. Woo went on to direct “Mission: Impossible 2,” “Windtalkers” and “Paycheck” in the next six years.

This is so unnecessary. The original is amazing and one of the greatest action thrillers of all time.

Yes... why? Definite "Point Break" feels

Hmm I'm on the fence. I liked the first. Depends who the actors are I guess.

What's the point? It's not gonna be any good.
