Zhang Yimou als Regisseur für R-Point Remake?

Die Jungs von Monkeypeaches haben interessante Neuigkeiten was die nächsten Arbeiten von Meisterregisseur Zhang Yimou (HERO, House of Flying Daggers) angeht. So soll er das US-Remake des koreanischen Horror-Hits R-Point verfilmen. Also an sich keine schlechte Nachricht, nur die Tatsache, dass es schon wieder ein Remake ist stresst langsam.

"According to, probably, Tartan Films, Chinese director Zhang Yimou is set to helm a Hollywood remake of South Korean Vietnam War horror R-POINT. The Korean film is distributed in UK and the US by Tartan Films. Neither Zhang Yimou nor anyone from his Beijing New Picture Films has publicly mentioned the project. Zhang Yimou has said, more than once, that he was not interested in working in the West. Zhang is now working on the post-production of Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles (Qianli Zou Danji). He also has two projects set to launch. The first one is a period drama with Chow Yun-Fat and Gong Li and the second one is a martial-art film with Jackie Chan, and possibly Jet Li."

Also ich denke nicht, dass da was draus wird, nicht dass es kein Remake geben wird, sondern eher, dass Yimou wohl da nix mit am Hut haben wird.
