The Raid Directed by
Gareth Evans

A reimagining of Gareth Evans’ The Raid is heading to Netflix. Patrick Hughes will direct the feature film, with Michael Bay and XYZ Films producing. Hughes was joined by James Beaufort to write the screenplay for the film. In Philadelphia’s drug-infested ‘Badlands’, an elite undercover DEA task force climb a ladder of cartel informants to catch an elusive kingpin. The original film was written and directed by Gareth Evans and released theatrically by Sony Pictures Classics in the US in April of 2012 after premiering to rave reviews at TIFF and Sundance. The Raid 2 was released in 2014.
“We’re incredibly excited about Patrick’s unique vision for this film. It’s a distinctly original take on the material, which promises to pay great respect to the original film while also bringing a fresh approach and perspective that will set its own course in the action genre.” The Producers said in a statement.
