The rescue mission, however, gets complicated when the ex-agent gets embroiled in a series of murders and double crosses involving the Japanese mob. <\/p>\n<p>The script has gone through a few drafts, first by Oliver Butcher and Stephen Cornwell (who are on Guy Ritchie\u2019s upcoming The Gamekeeper) and most recently by Peter Craig \u2014 who is also penning the American remake of Cowboy Bepop. A director has not yet come aboard, but once one does, I wouldn\u2019t expect too many scheduling obstacles, as Rain is only officially attached to one other film at the moment, Awaken the Dragon.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rain is working with some serious Hollywood heavyweights.
