Dimension dropped the remake ball on MAN FROM NOWHERE remake, NEW LINE runs with it!

Hey folks, Harry here...  It was September 23rd, 2010 when I first saw the electrifying South Korean film, THE MAN FROM NOWHERE at Fantastic Fest at its North American Premiere.   Jeong-Beom Lee wrote and directed this film which just knocked me out.  Hell it knocked all of us at AICN out.  Then it got announced that DIMENSION FILMS was set on doing an English language remake.   Dimension couldn't crack it, so the rights reverted back to it's original company, who just had them optioned by NEW LINE.  The studio behind SE7EN is definitely where this remake should be given a try.   No word on writing teams or a director or cast.   I just hope they plan on bringing a real quality team of people to make this.   OR leave it alone.  The original MAN FROM NOWHERE is a great flick!  If you haven't seen it, it's currently on NETFLIX and is riveting.   Really, that's the reason I picked this story up, any excuse to push this film, it is beloved!

 

 





Keep it cool - and check it out on Netflix if you haven't!
