Train to Busan is one of the creepiest films that has been come out in recent years. Lovers of horror genres all over the planet watched it without any language barrier. Widely considered one of the most popular Korean movies this film did the same magic that Old Boy did in the 2000s.
That was to increase the recognition of Korean cinema on an international platform. However, things are about to change. Hollywood will be making a remake of the Korean cult classic by the name of ‘Last Train to New York’.
After Parasite and thanks to the Korean bands, Americans have been lately acknowledging the kind of masterpiece movies that the Koreans make. However, the film has not gone on floors and it is just announced. But quite obviously it will be later made into the American flavour.
Train to Busan is based on a zombie attack. But the things that make Train to Busan so popular and great is not entirely the spooky sequences. They are the emotional sides that a character experiences when they see death right in front of them. Train to Busan starred Gong Yoo, Jung Yu-mi, Ma Dong-Seok, Kim Su-an, Choi Woo-Shik and was directed by Yeon Sang-ho.
The thing here is that everybody has got the right to remake a film, after acquiring the rights of course. But one must keep in mind that a film is not just moving pictures. Many people are involved in it with all their hearts. Some remakes have come out to be great just like Drishyam. But, some of them came out to be absolutely unworthy.
Netizens are not looking particularly happy after the announcement but let’s see if the makers can do justice.
