Our First Look At The Trailer For The American Remake Of MY SASSY GIRL?!
Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.
Unless I’ve somehow missed this earlier, this is indeed the first time we’ve seen footage from this one. I didn’t even realize it was done, much less who’s directing it or who was starring in it.
So this is all sort of shock to the system for me as a fan of the original. It’s a tough film to remake because the original’s not the easiest movie to “like.” It’s good, but the main character is a pretty remarkable asshole, and it’s a tricky thing, making you care about that person.
If Elisha Cuthbert can pull this off, she’ll change her career, and if she doesn’t, the film won’t work. Tall order, if you ask me. Here’s the video and the letter that tipped me off to check it out:
”The original was good, Yann Samuell's "Jeux D'Enfants" was good, so can his remake be good?
Judging from the trailer... maybe it's not going to be so bad. I just hope none of that lousy music is actually in the movie.”

yessss
-
this is gonna suck so bad. the original korean is one of my fav. films ever.
-
The original Korean movie could have used some editing but it is still one of my all time favorite movies. The two Korean leads do an amazing job and the preview doesn't give me much hope that Cuthbert's performance will be even close to Jeon Ji-hyun's in this role.
-
The green colour-filter? makes it look like "Midnight Meat Train".
-
this looks on the verge of being ok... the dialog is kinda cheesy kinda ok... and well your right about the music seeming to ruin it... I dont want to see I dont want to avoid it... its just meh
-
Damn!
-
Youtube....
watch?v=mZQCHWOM9bw
I don't see this working. Wrong leading actors. Wrong country and culture. Just wrong. -
I can't take Jesse Bradford's voice. Or his face. Or his acting.
-
McG didn't have anything to do with this one
-
That actually looks like it was done by a director who puts thought into his work. The original wasn't very good but it still had its charm, but in a very Korean way. It looks like they only borrowed the "sassy girl" aspect of it and created their own little story. I'd check it out.
-
Who cares? Shut up and fuck off!
-
But everything just looks spelled out, flat, and way too slapstick. Could be the song in the background, could be Jesse Bradford's voice...I'll have to wait and see. Not getting my hopes up for this one though.
-
Ever since I heard about the remake, I've had no hopes for this crap. Why "remake"? DO they hope to win over fans of the original Korean version? This film will never touch the tenderness, intimacy or zaniness of the original.Nonononononononononononononononononono! NO!!!
-
Still, can't they come up with their own shit?
-
WHAT'S WITH THIS CHICK FLICK SHIT!?!
-
movies I have ever seen. When the ending comes, you actually feel love between these two characters, something few movies are able to accomplish during their running time.This remake looks (and sounds) like horseshit. Good day.
-
Seriously, I hate romantic comedies but the original was a wonderful movie that had a lot going on under the surface. That said, they'll probably eliminate the deeper elements (like the time travel stuff) and dumb the whole thing down.
-
I think I better watch the original KOREAN movie.
-
So, given that the remake director's the guy who gave us the excellent (and actually rather thematically compatible) "Love Me If You Dare," I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. We've seen good films done an injustice by their trailers before.
-
Here's the original's real trailer (Splicer's link was to a fan-made one): http://rurl.org/mac Unsubbed, but I'm sure you can tell that none of the "deep stuff" is there.
-
Make it go away. The original rocked.

Proof that Western remakes of Asian classics are usually nightma

I wouldn't even see this if I were in it. Stay home and watch the original.

ee-hyuk! we don't got none a that learnin' sose we kin't read them sub-turlets. uh-hyuk!
-
Maybe I saw a different translation. Or maybe it's just that I'm a dick myself, and my judgment is clouded because of it.
Either way This looks painfully depressing. The leads just come across as that horrible blandness type that seem to be so popular these days, and the bits they did lift from the original look to be just horrible executed.
So much of the original hinged on cultural context and the age of the leads in that context, Was shoe horning it onto a standard American "hip" late 20's early 30's cookie cutter Romantic comedy really the way to go? -
Has there ever been another romantic comedy to sent directly to video? Will this be the first?

This My Sassy Girl remake is SASSYLESS than the original -
It would be better if they just stole the idea and make a "new" movie, rather than raping the original one. This should apply to all asian "remakes".
-
The first bit of music in the trailer is the exact same thing as Muse's song "Starlight", only with a casio keyboard instead of real instruments.
Oh, and this movie looks horrible. -
heard it's not good
