Every movie now is either a remake of a foreign film or remake of an older American movie

Whatever, I look forward to the remake. I've seen Oldboy many times and don't care to see it again, so it will be fun. Plus the original will find a new, wider audience. It's a win win.
One more thing - Asians remake American films as well, with far worse results than their Hollywood counterparts. So you fanboys that are jizzing yourselves at the opportunity to spew misguided antiamerican vitriol might want to learn a bit about the industry before you run your mouth.
I dunno, maybe this is the wrong forum for this type of discussion. Do any of you even work in the industry?

This is prolly one of the more fucked up movies I've ever seen. I'd rather see Tarantino copy it though.

let's not forget this was a korean adaptation of a popular japanese manga, so its well worthy of seperate foreign film.

I heard they were also remaking "Sympathy For Mr Vengeance" (earlier film by same director) completely separately.

Nothing is as cool as you and your collection of Japanese movies no one has ever heard of nor cares about. Hollywood has remade far worse movies and this one could take down the disgust to disgust factor from 11 to about an 8 and still be half decent. Just not with the second most gawd awful actor Will Smif, closely behind Nic Cage.

Is it really that hard to come up with new shit? Hundreds of millions for an average Hollywood piece and they can't find/buy a new fuckin script somewhere?
- precisely the problem - too much money involved means you need a guaranteed returnThePublics
- which means you need proven material or 3dThePublics

In 2002, Spike Lee lambasted Will Smith for his role in the movie, The Legend of Bagger Vance, viewing the film as whitewashing history.
At a time where black men were being "castrated and lynched left and right," Lee said: "With all that going on, why are you fucking trying to teach Matt Damon a golf swing?"
