So how soon before Hollywood remakes this movie?


I'll give them 3 years.

They won't remake this film, because it sucks already!

dark water is a bad film which got remade even worse, most people think this film is at least good, it will be remade eventually, and poorly at that

reply

No doubt they will in a couple of years, though it already borrows from loads of Western action films anyway (that's not to say it's not a good film, because it's one of my favourite), so it'll probably end up being an idiotic 'Transporter 3' or something.

reply

They probably won't because, although it's a great film, the plot isn't original or fresh enough to justify a remake.

And yet that hasn't stop hollywood studios for remaking every ring-derivation they have got their hands on.

ABL is a good film not because of the premise, but how is executed, from the cast to the way the director showed the "awakening" of Sun Woo's buried feelings. It was all done in such a subtle manner that i doubt most western directors would knew how to translate. Usually over here people think "more is better" so a remake will probably had more (but useless) shootouts, pointless dialogues and exposition and the worst of all, totally unecessary love scenes between the Sun Woo character and the girl, thus destroying completely what the original was aiming.

"I believe the common character of the universe is not harmony, but hostility, chaos and murder."
