@Issa,

"She doesn’t look cold and expressionless at all…first pic she looks like she saw a mouse in the corner, second pic she looks like a mannequin. Third pic is the femme fatale face, the red lipstick is a winner."

Agreed. I think she did a faboo job in all 3 shots.

No KHJ,I dont think PSH fits ther role?I don't like that Kara girl?
I think she'll ruin the show?
Idk.

But Ohh Park Bo- Young,I kinda wanna see Kim So-Eun in this role,
and yes I wish the lead role is KIM BUM!!!!!

John Woo doesn't have an eye for acting, but he has an eye for beautiful posturing. So, yes, on that front, casting Oppa Bot or Roman God makes a lot of sense (and, truth be told, if Roman God had been raised and fed on HK police dramas and international casual, my Gawd he could have been Idol of Legend.)

As much as I love K-drama and J-dorama, and as much as they take influences from American TV, there's an innate insularity with K/J cultures that makes HK-style cop stories and therefore well-coifed, well dressed, kiss kiss bang bang HK "glimmer twins" impenetrable. Most actors, good as they are, do not have a colonial disposition to refract these kind of roles with the weary irony, warrior kitsch, and unscrupulous vulgairty needed to play this kind of stuff. John Woo didn't invent this stuff; instead, he successfully marketed that gutter glamour (centuries of HK's multilingual mythology, always on sale downstairs) as urban cowboy myth. Okay, well, you don't have that foundation in a remake, and you can't immerse these actors sufficiently to cop the myth.

Having said that, I'm sure it'll be fun. And I wish best for my Oppa Bot. :D

I know I can be a pessimist... but I hope this remake will not butcher the original movie which was such a timeless, classic piece from the glory days of HK Cinema...

That aside, Joo Jin Mo looks hot and SSH and toothpick... hmmm... I dunno... but would rather he didnt do that trademark...

YAOOOOWWWZZAA!

Joo Jinmo's picture is really good.

I'm sorry Lee Min Ho refused, but not tooo sorry. I'm not too happy about the names tossed around. I'd kind of like to see Jang Geun Seuk in the role.

@ Mookie, why would you cringe?? remakes are done all the time. ABT was itself a remake. True artists evolve. I'm glad that John Woo isn't as close minded, but in fact very active in participating with this remake in some ways (big or small). I'm glad that he's open minded to the Korean film industry in carrying this remake, a piece of cinematic classic.

One could imagine the collaboration that director SHS and John Woo would have via telephone or in person about a certain scene. And John Woo would say, "Wait, that will work in Hong Kong, but how will this work in Busan?" and thus director Song would nod at a certain idea. Oh man!! what I would give to see that.

There were reports that there will be computer generated graphics over the gun fight scenes and that it took many days to weeks to complete. SSH and JJM were worried of the concept and how it would look, but once they saw the final edited gun scene(s), they were blown away by the quality.

Ugh, none of the names makes me happy. I mean, Kim Hyunjoong? Jung Yonghwa? Have people seen them act?? My wall can be more expressive than them.
