hollywood remaking lau's confession of pain

Looks like the Hong Kong film Confession of Pain will be the latest film to get the Hollywood remake treatment: American Remake of "Confession of Pain" On Board. American film companies are negotiating the rights to remake the film, directed by Andrew Lau and Alan Mak, after the success of the US version of their film Infernal Affairs ...a little blockbuster we here know as The Departed. With the film looking like a strong Oscar contender, it's no wonder someone out there wants to cash in on some repeat success. (If you haven't seen the original Infernal Affairs, put that sucker in your Netflix queue right now.) The article also notes that Andrew Lau has plans to direct a Hollywood action flick with an English language script and American cast in June.
