This is going to sound stupid...but won't people find this a knockoff of Cloverfield. Things ar similar here, and not that i'm gonna go bashing it for that, cuase i know it's not obviously. I'm just saying.

The Host was much better than Cloverfield but there were flaws with the Host. They couldn't even balance the humor and the drama. You never put humor in an emotional scene. It kills the whole significance of it. It's okay to have humor in it, but they have to keep it balanced like I said before.

so...yeah...guys...the host is from 2006, so you'd have to say cloverfield takes aspects of the host. now in terms of a remake, highly unnecessary.

Now we can sit back and wait for the announcement that they are shooting for a PG-13 rating..... I think there is a template for this announcement, just edit in the name of the foreign film to be remade, and the people involved.

All of you people who complain on message boards, are also the people who GO to see these awful remakes. Make a statement with your wallets, STOP going to see this dreck, and it will no longer be made!

You know, I totally agree with Jeremy, but if we stopped going to see rubbish remakes, what would there be left to see? We may actually be forced to stop wasting time, money and effort seeing films we know aren't going to be any good, just so we can complain about it on the internet later. My God! That might leave us no option but to resort back to reading books and face to face conversation with real people, and God knows, nobody wants that!
Unfortunately, I don't believe the comment about the dreck not being made. If they don't make this, they'll just make some other load of ****e. I'm seriously starting to think that the ability to make a good, entertaining movie - not a blockbuster, mind - is a lost and dying art. Which is a shame. Feel free to disagree.

I wonder if they're bold enough to have the original ending.

shannman- yeah i disagree. Iron Man disagrees. oh The Dark Knight says hello.

the host has been considered a masterpiece, and well received at film festivals serious (like Cannes) and truth is very unfair to do a remake, which might focus on the special effects and not on history, that the Korean version was a jewel

remakes, remakes and remakes, hollywood can not live knowing that there is cinema beyond U.S.

this is translated
hello from South America!!
Korean cinema is undoubtedly one of the best contributions to world cinema, with simple language content minimalist and deep, I find that a remake is a bad idea because the original gift certificate per thousand, and it is very strange in my country became a Article (when the film premiered) to which that in addition to praise, suggesting he had to see it because "one day soon will come a remake", and just that happening, I leave them below the link, peroi this in Spanish, but it is that they see no growth and that the Korean cinema this drawing strong on all sides

Jeremy- You could consider me one of those folks who ***** almost every post about these remakes. You want to know why? because most of the originals weren't worth a damn to begin with! The Host? Barely worth one sit through much less a second. Not all of us spend our money on these remakes to begin with. Its proven Hollywood doesn't have to make money on a movie to keep pumpin 'em out. Seems like the crappier a movie, the more sequels and remakes it gets. I could name a hundred but who really gives a flying f$#k? Not me. Let me know how you liked it, I'm sure you'll be first in line.

what?
