Kim Jee-woon's suspense thriller I Saw the Devil 악마를 보았다 (2010) is set for an English-language remake.
According to the video blog by producer Adi Shankar, writer Simon Barrett and director Adam Wingard have signed on to develop the remake. The writer-director pair has worked together on five films, including home invasion horror You're Next (2011) and forthcoming thriller The Guest.
In addition to Shankar, the film will be co-produced by Snoot Entertainment, who also produced The Guest.
The original I Saw the Devil starred Lee Byeong-heon as an intelligence service agent who takes revenge on his fiancé's killer, played by Choi Min-shik, by hunting him down and torturing him.
Two years ago, Shankar was briefly attached to Park Chan-wook's English-language thriller Corsica 77, a crime drama set in the 1930s.

Date: 2014-09-19 07:04 pm (UTC)They probably gonna ruin the movie like they did with Addicted. While the original movie was sort of brilliant, they have to change even the plot of the movie when they do the remake. I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND. :O

Date: 2014-09-19 11:41 pm (UTC)But I was thinking about how some people suggest American companies just show the original with subtitles. I don't think that would really work? There would have to be a lot of little side info captions to explain certain phrases or jokes. Not to mention some of the stuff that is made a big deal that isn't made into one in American shows?
idk, this is probably off topic but I was just thinking about it.
America usually takes good things and fucks them up. I will never forgive them for Being Human
