Aber dennoch absolute 08/15 Ware.
Die Leute machen sich doch laecherlich.
Wenn ich die Bournes gestemmt haette, staende mein Sinn eigentlich nach etwas Hoeherem; mir unklar, warum man dann Eine Nudel macht noch keine Spaghetti II produzieren will.
Hollywood will continue its tradition of ripping off popular films from other countries after a studio agreed to remake the Hong Kong romantic comedy, "Love Undercover."
Hong Kong director Joe Ma's 2002 smash is about a young policewoman who is picked for an undercover job.
Her assignment is to get close enough to a gangster's son so that she can plant a microphone at a table where the gangsters make their deals. Complications arise when she finds herself falling in love with the son.
The film, featuring Hong Kong actress Miriam Yeung and actor Daniel Wu, became a trilogy.
Miriam Yeung was delighted by the news.
"It proves again Hong Kong films perform well on the market. And I hope the news will attract more investors," she said.
Director Joe Ma has expressed his hope Hollywood actress Drew Barrymore gets the leading role.
Another big Hollywood remake of Hong Kong hit was crime flick "Departed," based on Hong Kong director Wai Keung Lau's awards-winning film "Infernal Affairs."
"The Departed" won Martin Scorsese the 2006 best director Oscar.
Joel Schumacher is in talks to direct "Breaking News," a remake of a Hong Kong action movie that premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 2004.
The story is set in motion when a TV news unit broadcasts live an embarrassing defeat of a police battalion by five bank robbers in a ballistic showdown. While on a separate investigation and stakeout in a run-down building, a detective discovers the hideout of the robbers. But the situation is complicated by an inspector who, in order to beat the media at its own game, decides to turn the stakeout into a breaking-news show.
The original was directed and produced by acclaimed filmmaker Johnnie To. The remake is set up at indie producer Gold Circle Films and art-house distributor Paramount Vantage.
Schumacher most recently was in theaters with "The Number 23," starring Jim Carrey. He is finishing work on the horror movie "Town Creek," which Lionsgate is distributing.
Andy Lau Tak-wah has signed on to star in a remake of the movie that inspired the 1986 John Woo gangster classic A Better Tomorrow, a spokeswoman for Lau and the film's director said.
Lau, one of Chinese cinema's biggest stars, has agreed to appear in the movie called Ying Hong Boon Sik in Cantonese, spokeswoman Alice Tam said yesterday. He will play a mobster who is betrayed by a close friend, director Stephen Fung Tak-lun said.
Ying Hong Boon Sik is a remake of a 1967 movie by the same name, Fung said. The 1967 movie inspired A Better Tomorrow, the Woo-directed action thriller that made Chow Yun-fat's trench-coat wearing, gun-toting gangster character an icon.
It was not immediately clear who is funding Fung's movie and when he will start shooting.
Spokeswoman Emily Wong at Hong Kong movie company Media Asia, which said earlier it was in talks with Fung about investing in the movie, said the company was not involved in the project any more.
Fung grabbed headlines recently when Hollywood producer Andrew Tennenbaum bought the remake rights to the Hong Kong director's comedy Enter The Phoenix. Tennenbaum produced The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy and the upcoming The Bourne Ultimatum.
Lau's credits include the kung fu movie House of Flying Daggers and the crime thriller Infernal Affairs, which was remade by Martin Scorsese as The Departed.
Lau has shot two Chinese historical epics recently - Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon and The Warlords.
Lau, who also sings, is scheduled to launch a concert tour in China this year. [url]http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/07/24/arts/AS-A-E-MOV-Andy-Lau-John-Woo-Remake.php http://www.thestandard.com.hk/news_deta ... r=20070725[/url]
Fung: Gerne. Die poppige Bubblegum-Optik wird er ja wohl ablegen koennen.
Lau: Lieber nicht, aber der garantiert leider die Finanzierung.
Was ist eigentlich aus dem koreanischen Ableger mit Louis Koo geworden ?!
Director approaches Aaron Kwok for remake of movie that inspired 'A Better Tomorrow'
HONG KONG: Eyeing a second big star for his new movie, Hong Kong director Stephen Fung has approached award-winning Aaron Kwok for a planned remake of the film that inspired the 1986 John Woo gangster classic "A Better Tomorrow," an assistant said Tuesday.
Andy Lau, one of Chinese cinema's biggest stars, has already signed on for Fung's "Ying Hong Boon Sik," and now the director has approached Kwok about a role, Fung's assistant, Sue Fung, told The Associated Press.
A spokeswoman for Kwok wasn't immediately available for comment
Also Elisha Cuthbert …. Na ja die finde ich ja zum anbeißen lecker … aber trotzdem wird es mir bei einen Remake meines Lieblingsfilms ziemlich schlecht. ... ich kann das nicht mal dezent ignorieren
Von LASER PARADISE gibt das dann passend dazu den Film auf Korea jetzt zu kaufen, soll angeblich zwar O-Ton haben aber ohne UTs .. kann jemand was sazu sagen??

Ganz einfach, so kann man am Budget für Horror-SFX sparen ... die japanischen Traditionen sind für das angestrebte Langnasen-Klientel ohnehin schon gruselig genug.
Oh Gott! Ich dachte mit The Ring + 2 und The Grudge +2 ging es schon zu weit. Jetzt lese ich im Thread das unzählige Remakes von asiatischen Filmen gemacht werden .
Shutter ist ja mal echt die Höhe! Also am allermindesten hätte ich erwartet das sie hinschreiben das es sich um einen "REMAKE" handelt anstatt einfach nur die Idee und den namen zu klauen
Remake zu Bangkok Dangerous soll ja auch noch kommen. Auf den bin ich aber gespannt weil da die Pang Brothers selber Hand anlegen werden...
