Il Mare Hollywood Remake (guess who's gonna star?)

[Eliar Swiftfire]

RT-News writes: "Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock will star in "Il Mare," a Warner Brothers romantic drama, to be directed by Alejandro Agresti, Variety reports. The film is a remake of a Korean film of the same name, and the script is by Pulitzer prizewinner David Auburn. Reeves stars in the forthcoming "Constantine"; Bullock stars in "Miss Congeniality 2.""

I doubt the hollywood version would be as good as the original. One of the best thing about the korean version is the music.

Keanu Reeves.... *falls off chair*

I am an EF-BEE-EYE agent!

I can just see it now: "Woooah! Traveling through time? Woah! Mail Box? Woah!"

[Eliar Swiftfire]

Bah. Why Sandra Bullock? Why not Uma Thurman?

[Moinllieon]

Bah. Why Sandra Bullock? Why not Uma Thurman?

Would it really make a difference since they are suppose to be having a romance with a plank of wood?

[Eliar Swiftfire]

Having a cooler chick might make the whole thing more palatable.

I won't mind if Monica Belluci's in it.

[Moinllieon]

And I wouldn't mind if Jeon Ji Hyun was in it. But Keanu would still ruin it.

[Eliar Swiftfire]

Nah, Keanu ain't that bad.

He was, er, well, not that wooden in Something Gotta Give!

[Moinllieon]

I wouldn't count on it as a trend though.

Well, um... I'm sure there are a couple of other movies where he ain't that wooden. Like... ah yes, he was EMOTING in Hardball. Oh yeah, Keanu emoting, baby.

Of course, he emoted in Matrix 3 when Trinny died too.

hi! one of my favorite korean movies of all times is 'il mare'. maybe because of the dearth and shallowness of hollywood they're making more and more remakes. to have keannu reeves and sandra bullock star in 'il mare' speaks of poor choice of casting. don't you think they're too old and tired looking for the roles? they should have gotten younger and fresher looking actors for the lead roles.

[TuToo]

he was very emotional in Phoenix
actually i like him in Sweet November

for some reasons, i dont think Sandra would fit the role...

[eeyore]

Mas nunu ... full stop.

You know what? It's more likely for the Asians to run out of ideas first before Hollywood does. Seriously, this is starting to get into my nerves? Whenever HK, Korean or the Japanese rip off their ideas from Hollywood, people think that it's fine, nothing much. Blah blah. But when Hollywood wants to do a remake of an Asian film, BABOOM, it's Hollywood 'RUNNING OUT OF IDEAS'.

Sheesh, this is a forum for Asian TV series and movies, and naturally, most people here are Asians, or pro-Asian people. But things are getting ridiculous here.

Then don't watch the remake. It's a quite simple solution actually.

[dan J]

Oh yeah, Keanu emoting, baby ...

wohh!!! duuude!!! wohh!!!

hey, blows my mind too.

[allunderheaven]

In that case you probably shouldn't complain if it turns out you didn't like the remake. Nobody forced you to watch it, and even if it did suck, just ignore it and pretend it never existed.

hey i'm asian and i know this site is for asian films, but just because of that, you shouldn't be racist ya no! i love chinese/korean films but that doesn't mean i don't like american tv. acting this way is just slack for those asians who like american films.
