The plans for the live action adaptation of Kite has gotten a bit of a boost today as Film Business Asia is reporting that it will begin shooting in South Africa in January with a $12-million budget. The film hasn’t had a lot said about it since it was first revealed and it appears that the cast for it will be revealed next week. The film still retains David R. Ellis as its director who has come off of Shark Knight 3D which had a $28 million budget. He currently is listed as having four different films slated as in pre-production for 2012, but Kite is not listed as one of them at this point.
“According to Variety, the Kite remake will be an action film about a young woman with financial troubles. A corrupt security force that had been selling young women murders her police officer father. The woman teams up with her father’s former partner to uncover the mystery of his death, unaware she was betrayed from the start.”
