Currently, the makers of the film have provided a limited amount of information in terms of the film. The executive vice president of Universal Productions, Matt Reilly, will also be overlooking the project on behalf of the studio. The original Saigon Bodyguards film was directed by Ken Ochiai. The screenplay of the movie was managed by Michael Thai. According to the news portal, the film was based on a story by Ochiai and Thai themselves. The project was later produced by Rhombus Media and TNA Entertainment. The film saw a partnership between two bodyguards with contrasting personalities. One of them being a straight face serious personnel while the other being a bit silly natured comic relief for the film. As far as the remake goes one would have to wait and watch which characters' roles are taken up by both Chris Pratt and Wu Jing who star as main leads.
