Jaume Collet-Serra is set to remake the 1981 flick “Victory”, which starred Sylvester Stallone, Max von Sydow, Pelé and Michael Caine. Collet-Serra will direct the film, from a script written by Gavin O’Connor and Anthony Tambakis. Tambakis is reportedly re-writing.
Via The Wrap, the remake focuses on the Nazi forces’ world-class English soccer coach John Colby, a POW with a history of trying to escape, effort to put together a team of other POW soccer stars for a game against the German national team in front of Hitler in occupied Paris. When given the opportunity to escape during the game, the players must decide whether to humiliate the Nazis in the eyes of the world and spark a resistance or to save their own lives.
Collet-Serra recently directed “The Commuter” with Liam Neeson, and the upcoming “Jungle Cruise” starring Dwayne Johnson.
