"The Beauty Inside" remake to star "Game of Thrones" Emilia Clarke

[waves-of-light.livejournal.com]

The American remake of the 2015 Korean film “The Beauty Inside” will star “Game of Thrones” Dragon mother Emilia Clarke as the female lead.

Fox 2000 recently acquired the film rights to remake the Korean flick in a $2 million deal, beating out its five competitors including Universal, Sony and Lionsgate.

The remake will be written by “The Fault in Our Stars” writers Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber. Temple Hill’s Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey -- responsible for productions such as the “Maze Runner” series and “The Twilight Saga” -- will join as producers along with Greg Chou.

The film centers on Woo-jin, a man who wakes up in a different body every morning, and his lover Yi-soo. In the Korean edition, Yi-soo was played by Han Hyo-joo and Woo-jin was played by 21 A-list actors including Yoo Yeon-seok, Lee Dong-wook, Seo Kang-joon, Park Shin-hye and Japanese actress Juri Ueno.

I saw the news about that on ontd a few days ago and watched the film bc people said in the comments that in the orginal film Woo-jin is sometimes a woman too. Overall, I liked the film but I noticed that when Woo-jin was a woman they didn't do anything romantic (only in the montague at the end where Yi-soo kissed/almost kissed all the Woo-jins). And also it really caught my eye that while Woo-jin was sometimes a white/black person that every time Yi-soo was with him he was asian.

yeah that bugged me when I watched it. I hope they do that a bit differently in the remake.

Also she was only romantic with him when he was gorgeous.

Wow this actually managed to sound worse than the last time i read about the u.s. remake since it has more details lol.

It already sounded bad because remakes typically don't work well and Emilia's name was attached but now with all this stuff with the people whose past projects weren't exactly high quality being involved the out come looks even more bleak.

Idk I'm honestly glad that this isn't a remake of something I enjoyed because if it was I wouldn't be very pleased with this.

Damn i managed to write a lot about a bunch of nothing lol.

Also op it's written as "Amelia" in the title when it should be "Emilia".

I watched this on the plane a few weeks ago and was unimpressed. However I was surprised to see so many familiar less-famous faces, like Do Ji Han.

I did love the friendship between Woo Jin and whatever his bff's name was tho.

Anyway Emilia Clarke is awful and unrelatable. For a role like this Han Hyo Joo was perfect but I don't think Emilia would be able to pull it off.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead did a good job in the original mini series - honestly they could have just re-hired her.

She is such a slept on actress. She's good. She deserves bigger roles

I'm confused...Isn't there already an American version? With Matthew Gubler the nerd from Criminal Minds in it?
