i just recently saw a trailer called the lake house and relised it's a remake of the Korean Movie Il Marie. i don't know if it's gonna be good but i was annoyed when i heard about them making "my sassy girl" both of thhese a movies with Jeon Ji Hyun
as the main actress.
i don;t know about you but if the movie was great and the Amerivenise and it turns out crap. I'll be pissed
reasons why i believe that many foriegn movie shouldn't be remade is because what was so great about the originals were the personalities of the characters brought to life by the original actors can not be recreated and sometime that's what brought the movies it's original success.

i am against it. take IL MARE's LAKE HOUSE, for instance, i found it too.........."Hollywood-ized". It did not have any of the charm of the original. it simply did not live up to IL MARE.
BATTLE ROYALE??????????????? NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it is so going to turn into a teen-flick. Who's gonna star in it? The likes of Paris Hilton a la House of Wax? jaysus!
Ringu. As for remaking foreign movies, whine whine whine. The Magnificent Seven was an American remake of Seven Samurai, and it was prety damn well-received. So was The Ring, for that matter. And The Birdcage.

The Ring was about as good as Ringu. Better, in some respects. And no, I'm not "pissed" about the Lake House. Why the hell would anyone be pissed because someone botched a remake? Just don't watch the damn thing.

I never said the original was good.
no one said anything about you being pissed about a movie
man, i have no idea what comments you're replying to.
people get pissed off about stuffed up remakes, cause the orignal was good and they have destroyed some of it's original value by making a crap version.

Perfectly good movies do no need to be remade. Usually when a movie is remade it shoould be at least an improvement on the original. Remaking a great movie just for the purpose of americanising it is stupid. It lacks many of the original values of character and atmoshere that have been created by the Actors and scenary. You can not duplicate the persona that the original actors gave it. The mood of the original is another thing that can not be replicated. There is no way you can tell me that you fell the same about any Movie from their original to their American counterpart.
As a matter of fact, I just mentioned a remake that I thought matched the original. If you didn't like either version, it's not my problem.

I wouldn't even come close to saying 12 Monkeys is a remake of La Jetee. The writer said it was 12 Monkeys was based off of some key elements from the film. But obviously it didn't steal any characters, conflicts, the whole premise is moderately different.
