| US has done a lot of remake of Asian film. Film like The Ring, The Grudge, Infernal Affair (AKA The Departed), and other film you can think of. I'm not hating on the remake, The Departed is my favorite remake (I don't know why people would hate US remaking Asian film). But it looks like the tide has turn. Now it's Japan/Asia remaking American/western film. Japan has remade the American film, Sideways. Now last month it's reported that Japan will remake Ghost (as in the classic movie with the late Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore). I was reading the passage and I saw this Ghost isn’t the only movie getting this treatment. Fox is prepping a Japanese remake of the Cary Grant classic An Affair to Remember, and we’re likely to hear about other Japenese remakes of proven American films in the remainder of this year. Japan is also remaking a 1958 French noir film, Ascenseur pour l'échafaud (Elevator to the Gallows). Zhang Yimou has also remake one of the Coen Brother film, Blood Simple into a Simple Noodle story. What American/Western film would you like Asia to remake, for me: Scarface (Japan, have Takeshi Kitano direct the movie) Carrie (Japan, Takeshi Miike to direct the film, and Chiaki Kuriyama to play as Carrie in the Japanese remake) The Godfather (Japan or Hong Kong) Collateral (Hong Kong, Frankie Lam to play Tom Cruise's character, Leon Lai to play Jamie Foxx's character) The Boondock Saints (Hong Kong, the one done by Troy Duffy suck. Maybe John Woo can make it better) The Unborn (Japan, the one I saw reminded me of J-horror, so why not remake it for the Japanese market) Fight Club (Japan or Hong Kong, I just think the movie deserve a Asian remake) Red Dawn (South Korea, the movie plot will be about North Korea and China invading South Korea and a group of South Korean teens fight back against the invader) SWAT (Hong Kong, replace SWAT with Police Tactical Unit and keep the story the same.) |

| NONE, I'm not against Japan remaking American movies, but I am against remaking CLASSICS, you don't mess with them, nothing good comes out of remaking a good movie. Just Ask: Planet of the Apes King Kong Psycho House of Wax The Texas Chainsaw Massacre....there are many more, but I'll stop here |

Just Ask: Planet of the Apes King Kong Psycho House of Wax The Texas Chainsaw Massacre....there are many more, but I'll stop here Whoa hold on, there were 2 King Kong remake, the one made in 1976 and the Peter Jackson one. Also House of Wax (both the Vincent Price one and the 2005 version were remake of this film). Also are you going to hate the 1983 Scarface, because that was a remake of the 1932 film. Without the remake, rap music would not have existed today. Also without remake, I would not know about the classic like 3:10 to Yuma (I never heard of the original until I saw the remake), and The Day the Earth Stood Still. Do you think this generation people would watch the classic they never heard of, No. That's why remake are done. |
| I´d hate to say it but i wouldn't really aprove of a remake of 'The Godfather' since it has a lot of focus on the Italian mafia specifically on the states after WW-II. |

ChronicHaze said: I´d hate to say it but i wouldn't really aprove of a remake of 'The Godfather' since it has a lot of focus on the Italian mafia specifically on the states after WW-II. Well I was thinking the Japanese remake can take place in 1970's Japan and create some fictional Yakuza family based on the Five Family in New York. Same thing for the Hong Kong remake, make it take place in 1950's Hong Kong, and apply the same thing. |
mdo7 said: Carrie (Japan, Takeshi Miike to direct the film, and Chiaki Kuriyama to play as Carrie in the Japanese remake) This would be fun. |

Sweetpea said: Confucius said: Depends. There are several films where I prefer the remakes to the originals.Honestly, the whole concept of "remaking" deserves a facepalm. Exactly, I found the 1983 version of Scarface to be superior over the 1920 version, I never hear the 1920 version ever say "Say hello to my little friend", or having a epic shootout in the end. I found the Departed to be superior over the Asian version for several reason. Also, if Hong Kong was ever to remake the Boondock Saints (which I found it to be terrible and Troy Duffy should have maybe gotten John Woo to direct the movie) and it was superior over the American version, then I might choose the HK version over the US version. KyuuAL said: Let's see... People do not find the idea of Americans making "anime" to be palatable. Here, you have the Japanese looking to remake American movie classics. Y'know what? So, freakin' what. I called them Asian supremacist. These people would pull double standard and I can apply the same thing for people who complain about US remaking Asian film yet nobody complain when Asia remake American film. I bet you when Japan or Hong Kong ever remake The Godfather, nobody will complain I bet I'll hear one person saying: "(bleep) Al Pacino and (bleep) Marlon Brando and (Bleep) Francis Ford Cappola, American version suck Asian remake is superior." You know I'm glad Asia is remaking US film for various reasons: 1. US has been remaking a lot of Asian film, so why can't Asia do the same thing. Talk about eye for an eye. 2. I'm a big fan of Asian entertainment so I like to see how Asia take on American film by remaking some of ours. Beside I watch a lot of American movie and I always thought half of them deserve a Asian remake. 3. Some of our film was not good (The Boondock Saints) so I thought if Asia remake it, it could be better then the American version. So you'll see everybody wins. I have no complain about Asia remaking American movie, or America remaking Asian film. |

| It looks like China and Hong Kong has just planned more remake of American film according to Newsweek. According to the article (and other sources I found): -Hong Kong and China has remade Cellular into Connected. It just came out in 2008. -Hong Kong has also planned to remake What Women Want for the Hong Kong market. Andy Lau will play Mel Gibson's role and Gong Li will play as Helen Hunt's character. I wonder how long till Hong Kong announce plans to remake Die Hard, and Collateral. |

Actually, I meant the opposite... as I tend to detest that kind of behavior. :p By looking to keep Hollywood as exclusive (as well as anime), you're encouraging the bullshit known as COPYRIGHT. === After all, look at it in terms of Shakespeare. Virtually ANYONE can make some kind of rendition to a Shakespeare work, and no one ever has a problem with it. What's so special about recent work such that no one can make their own renditions? |

No, I want Americans making "Anime". :p As for Hollywood converting movie versions of Japanese products, they just really need to do a much damned better job at it. Let's just say -- I haven't been much of a movie watcher for the past 7-10 years -- because almost anything Hollywood makes nowadays has been utter crap, with a few rare gems here and there. |

I wouldn't mind Zac Efron playing Light Yagami in the Hollywood Deathnote, beside Efron said he's a big Deathnote fan (and he's not lying). The DB Evolution wasn't bad. If you're going to complain about that, then why don't you complain about Hollywood adapting DC and Marvel Comic into live-action movie also. Some of them are bad, and a lot of them are good. Beside, I don't see problem with Japan remaking classic movie. A lot of original film I never heard of like 3:10 to Yuma or The Taking of Pelham 123 until I saw the remake. Have you ever heard of those? |
| its not that big of a deal as dragonball being made into a live action movie |
| They want to remake Psycho? :o |
 |
| Generally I'm alright with it. It's not like I'll watch any of the re-makes anyway. |

I don't trust Rotten Tomatoes for many reason. They give some good movies bad review ( I don't remember which one). If Rotten Tomatoes said this movie is bad but turn out to be good in many way among fan, would you believe them? So you're OK with Japan changing the setting and character of Ghost from US to Japan. But you're not OK with Deathnote going American. How do you know American version of Deathnote is going to take place in USA, do you have evidence (and tha evidence should be reliable)? Jesus, you're a hypocrite, you know that? Pshaman said: They want to remake Psycho? :o I didn't hear anything about that yet. Even if Asia does a remake, it could come out in three way: 1. Good on par with the original 2. Superior over the American version 3. Bad, as in crappy. |

I never said I was OK with 'Ghost' going to Japan, if you've seen my previous comments you will notice that I HAVE NEVER been in favor of remaking CLASSICS, 'Ghost' is definitely a classic, therefore I'm against a remake of it. Dude, If you don't like RottenTomatoes that's fine but they are a respected site that usually DOES rate movies in a fair and UNBIASED manner. You yourself mentioned Zach Efron playing Light, HE'S AMERICAN, it's an AMERICAN production studio, making it for an AMERICAN public, therefore most likely.......IT'S AMERICAN ACTORS!!!! Now, in what way am I a hypocrite, I stand by my comments and I have not contradicted myself. |
alexcampos said: . Maybe you're just bias... hypocrite is a strong word. OP mentioned Asia, OP mentioned Hong Kong, mentioned Korea. But all you saw was Japan and US. |
| ^ I could agree with being biased, but only on the following statements: Anime should be made ONLY by Japan, I think the majority of people believe this. Classic Hollywood movies SHOULD NOT be remade or tweaked with, by ANYONE. Even though some remakes (very rarely) are better than the original, that doesn't mean we should remake any and every thing. Would you like it if we "remade" the Mona Lisa or Starry Night??? Would you like it if we "remade" The Eiffel Tower, or The Empire State Building??? This is also similar like when Musicians make "covers", they might be doing it to "honor" the song and or original artist, but in the end it's the original that people prefer. |
| They can only improve Ghost. |
| They should remake some awesome porn parodies that we have. Imagine The Office(Porno) in Japanese. With them tig bitties and hairy pussies. |

This is also similar like when Musicians make "covers", they might be doing it to "honor" the song and or original artist, but in the end it's the original that people prefer. uh, so if anime should be made in Japan, what about anime based on Western franchises like Batman: Gotham Knight, and Halo Legends, does that count or should people hate it because it's based on American stuff and anime should always use Japanese stories (not western stories). Should we hate Japan-American anime co-production also? Also, you said that we should not remade the Mona Lisa or the Eiffel Tower. Does that mean we should take down the Luxor in Las Vegas because they remade the Spinx and the Great Pyramind?  Also for the musicians making "cover" music. There are "cover" that are better then the original like the song, I Will Always Love You. The one by Whitney Houston outdid the Dolly Parton (I listen to both version and Whitney Houston capture the song better then Parton). The Whitney Houston version became one of the best-selling singles of all time. I agree Smilewithme, you're ways too bias (and I think you're a bit of hypocrite). You put too much restrictions on a lot of thing. shintai88 said: First time I've heard of this happening :P Well this is what happen if people don't check out what's going on. you could miss a lot of thing. I think we might start to see more and more American film getting Asian remake. As I said, seeing Asian remaking American film is fair game to me. If America is going to remake Asian film, then Asia should do the same thing for American film because well it makes thing completely balanced. BTW, I like to add more American film I like to see South Korea remake, all of them are romance comedy: The Notebook: I like to see a South Korean take on this film. Only You: I like the plot in the American version, I think I imagine this film in a South Korean setting. Moonstruck Picture Perfect |
| Nothing wrong with Americans producing anime... As Long As... it's done well. Of course, that's kinda asking too much at this point. Same goes with some Asian country looking to remake some Hollywood movie. Of course, good luck buying the rights to do so. Personally, I'm kinda sick of Hollywood crowning themselves as movie capital of the world. It's time for some new challengers to appear, so that Hollywood can get off its butt -- and make something good. After all, Hollywood has been excessively dependent on fads to make money nowadays. That translates to crap. There's a reason why market competition exists. |

mdo7 said: Also, you said that we should not remade the Mona Lisa or the Eiffel Tower. Does that mean we should take down the Luxor in Las Vegas because they remade the Spinx and the Great Pyramind? Luxor and all the other "fake" remakes of famous world landmarks that are in Vegas can stay. They are simply casinos not at all as their predecessors, Vegas does it as a way to "unite" the world into gambling they also have a fake Eiffel Tower, Statue of Liberty, among other things. C'mon you know what I'm trying to say, if I wanted to see the Pyramids, I wouldn't go to Vegas, I would go to Egypt, If I wanted to see the statue of Liberty I'll go to NYC. But I do see your point, I just don't necessarily think that Classics need to be tweaked with. When George Lucas decided to "remaster" the original Star Wars, most of the fans DID NOT approve of it, nor did they like the "improvements". Then he decided to make the Star Wars prequel trilogy, as you probably know, even though it was a success at the box office, ALL three movies received BAD reviews. |
| Depends what movies. Not the Godfather for sure. |
 |
| The last American movie I watch is Blood: The Last Vampire.It is so bad that I can't even finish it....High School of the dead is better than this movie ... Not to mention the chun-li Movie (dunno what name) which I finish it but I regret watching it . But most of the marvel adapted Movie are very good because they are much more funded ^^imo |

I'd give them credit still for mentioning what the movie was based off, but when they said "based on a Japanese film"... I fainted. No one at all made an effort to correct this error. |

Yeah but did you know a lot of our classic American movie are remake of foreign film like I believe the Magnificent 7 was a remake of Seven Samurai and people still embrace the Magnificent 7. Also I believe Clint Eastwood's man with no name character wouldn't have exist if it hasn't for yojimbo. Don't forget that. Did you forget Japan sort of adapt Spiderman in the style of Kamen Rider? Without the Japanese Spiderman, Super Sentai/Power Ranger would not have any giant robot in their show today. |
| Also I like to bring up that whenever America remake Asian film, people complain. But when it's Asia remaking American film, there's no complaint. I wonder if it's Asian supremacy that come into play. |
mdo7 said: Red Dawn (South Korea, the movie plot will be about North Korea and China invading South Korea and a group of South Korean teens fight back against the invader) I love John Milius more than you can imagine, but let's not re-make films that were shit to begin with, okay? Heh, I've probably seen two dozen Hong Kong films like this already! (G4 Option Zero, Zero Option, etc.) Anyways, it's an amusing little focus, and the thing that comes to my mind is Focus- Crank 2 done by Takeshi Miike, which would be hilarious considering how much the original film was inspired by crazy Japanese action films and Miike's work, right down to having a knock-off of Kakihara as a main villain. |
