Schumacher to pitch some 'Breaking News'

Director Joel Schumacher has pitched a bid to develop Breaking News, a remake of a Hong Kong action movie that premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 2004, reports Reuters.

The story follows the aftermath of a live TV news broadcast that reveals an embarrassing defeat of a police battalion by five bank robbers in a heart-pounding shoot-out. While on a separate investigation a detective discovers the hideout of the robbers. But the plot takes a turn when the inspector decides to turn his discovery into a breaking-news show.

The original was directed and produced by filmmaker Johnnie To. (The Advocate)
