So even if Amber Heard wanted to play the role of Samantha Jones, and Dustin Clare wanted the lead role of Trent Smith in Killer of Killers, it wouldn't make a bit of difference if Corey Yuen didn't want to make the movie. That means first and foremost, Corey Yuen must read the book, Killer of Killers, and like it enough to make it into a movie. And only after Killer of Killers is made into a movie, might Killer Eyes be made into a movie, too, with Zhang Yuqi or Sun Li playing the part of the villainess, Ming Sang.
Oh, I can dream, and I can dream all day, but you, the readers, must buy copies of Killer of Killers, and then its sequel, Killer Eyes. Let it be known if you liked the books, and let the word spread. Because if it does, only then might Corey Yuen get the message. And that message is that there's a great martial arts story out there, (Killer of Killers, and its sequel, Killer Eyes) that would make great movies.
Of course I realize that if Corey Yuen were to decide to make the movies, he might have different actors play the parts. But Corey Yuen is a master filmmaker. And he's a master director of action packed films. The Transporter movies (and he made all three of them,) rank among my favorite movies of all time. And if Corey Yuen were to sign on for Killer of Killers, it's like, wow, a dream come true. I would have no doubt that he would make it into the greatest possible movie it could possibly be. And that would be pretty darn great, indeed.
Sure, there's other directors who do great action movies. The Bourne movies are great, too. I wouldn't mind that crew doing the movie! Not at all. But I just have a sentimental appreciation for Corey Yuen's movies, and since he specializes in martial arts action, I think he would be the best man for the job. But again, readers out there, spread the word about Killer of Killers. Let's get it on the NY Times bestseller's list. That's the only way Hollywood will notice it. Thank you.
