As a well-rounded artist, rapper Kid Cudi has a new work arrangement. It is reported that he will join the shooting of John Woo’s latest film “Silent Night”.
Although the exact role is unknown, he will star alongside “Suicide Squad” actor Joel Kinnaman.
At the same time, this is John Woo’s return to Hollywood to direct a new film after 18 years, after directing “Paycheck” starring Ben Affleck in 2003.
This is John Woo’s first film since 2017’s “Manhunt” and his ninth Hollywood film.
The film tells the story of a father’s revenge against the gangster for the death of his son. It is the type of commercial action film that John Woo is good at. The biggest gimmick of the film is that there is not a single line in the whole film.

The most famous films of John Woo’s Hollywood career are “FACE/OFF” “Windtalkers” starring Nicolas Cage, “Paycheck” starring Ben Affleck and Tom Cruise’s “Mission: Impossible II”.
For John Woo, “Silent Night” was an interesting attempt. The fact that the film does not contain any dialogue will help the film appeal to the international market, as it does not require translation.
This will give John Woo a chance to showcase his cinematic aesthetic and prove that he’s still a top-notch director.
