Marc Forster in Talks for Die Bad

November 5, 2008

Variety says that Universal Pictures is in negotiations to remake the Korean film Die Bad, developing the drama as a potential directing vehicle for Quantum of Solace helmer Marc Forster.

Brad Ingelsby will write the script.

The film will be produced by Forster and his Apparatus partner Brad Simpson, Vertigo's Roy Lee and Doug Davison and Rick Schwartz of Overnight Productions.

Written and directed by Seung-wan Ryoo, the 2000 original consisted of four short films that told the story of the rise and fall of a gangster. The components are being combined for the English-language remake that will be set in New York.

South Korea has produced many great movies in recent years. Old Boy, The Host, A Tale of Two Sisters, The Chaser, My Sassy Girl and this one. Too bad, Hollywood has to remake everything just to milk out more cash from concepts they haven't thought of...
Lame.

A scene for scene reshoot with Bobby Lee as the lead character would be top notch.

Yep I thought this was a Die Hard Sequel too.

Good title for that would be: DIE ALREADY or DIE PLEASE

I thought it was one of those "scary movie"-type Die Hard spoofs.
