I can't believe it, OldBoy, the amazing Korean film is to be re-made by Hollywood!! What is the point in re-making all these foreign films, most notably asian movies recently, I don't see other countries rushing to re-make recent Hollywood movies. When is it going to stop? I though this re-make phase they were going through was dying down but obviously not. I can't tell you how shocked i was when I heard this news, if you've seen the film you'll know why. |

The end of the world is coming. In other words, and more accurately, I mean "Who gives a fuck?" |

people who don't like films they love being dumbed down for western audiences? If they like the film why not release it in the US, that would save the costof creating a whole new (inferior) film. If they think the problem is the US audience then why not try to do something about the audience', like teach them how to read, hand out leaflets at the showing of the film or something, step 1. look at screen, at the lower part of the screen you will see these white letters, these will eventually take shape and form words. step 2. your mind should now register following words which all make a sentence step 3. hard one this... read step 4. realise that the character on screen talking in some foreign language is actually saying what your reading on screen, confusing i know. any trouble, do some light reading at home, start with packets of serials and work your way from there, in no time you'll be able to watch foreign films without us having to spend lots of money on inferior remakes! |

How do you know it will be dumbed down and inferior? The subtitles to a lot of eastern films aren't even accurate translations of the original script and a lot of the nuance of the languages are lost, so a lot of the enjoyment you gain out of the films will be you feeling special for liking a foreign film. Like autechre fans when they listen to autechre. They beleive they are better than every other music listener because they "get" or see something that most people don't. |

if you have watched OldBoy which I can tell you haven't, then you would know that by its very nature it would have to be dumbed down for an American audience, |

They aren't as intelligent as you? |

I though the remake of Ring was far better than the original :P |

ask a hollywood studio |

the thing is, the original wasn't exactly brilliant anyway. |

you wouldn't want a remake of the Godfather would you? |

There is nothing wrong with them remaking it though. It's not as though they are damaging the original in any way, nor are they forcing you to watch it. So what's the problem? |

If it was a remake to switch dialog into my native tongue and with more relevence to my own culture then maybe yes, I wouldn't mind. |

Not especially, but I wouldn't waste time complaining about it. I can imagine it would find a market somewhere. |

i know, i was just surprised thats all. anyway looks like i'm outnumbered :) |

they are damaging the original in that the legacy of the original is often forgotten as the masses associate the name with the hollywood remake. and they stink. |

it makes sense though, everyone on this message board MUST be more intelligent then the normal popular, because this is an IDM message board... so we're all intelligent, cause we listen to intelligent dance music!! |

anyone seen the new churchill film yet? sounds... errr... interesting... |

Then you are not concerned only with the quality of the film itself, but more exernal factors associated with it. Why should you care what others think of it if it gives you joy? |

Re makes are not a bad thing, if someone really likes the movie they will search down the original. |

Sylvester Stallone in Get Carter. I say no more. |

i only agree with remaking a movie if the original movie was really obscur and cheaply made, not an already established classic. That said, I'm not actually against remaking already established good movies, for the simple fact that I couldn't care less. |

Remake of the Ring and the Grudge were both great. Vanilla Sky was a load of tripe. |
