SERIES' SUMMARIES

Sometime in 2004 I began reviewing selected series in an episode by episode way, where I called these reviews EPISODIC THOUGHTS. These thoughts are mostly summaries of each and every episode with my opinion of that episode included in it as well. I may not provide the most in depth summaries but I am very proud of the fact that I could keep the writing on such a long winded basis each and every night for the entirety of the series. I don't do this for each and every series though because it kills a lot of brain cells, mine as well as fellow netizens who often joined in the discussion by posting informative stuff. These thoughts are still open for feedback and discussion. Do check them all out in REVIEWS where it is indicated with an  [E] next to my name.

Anyway saw some news in that website where big big there wrote "HOLLYWOOD TO REMAKE JSA". How does one remake JSA in the Hollywood context? The Mexico/America border? West and East Germany wall? I wonder...

And I just finished reading the article and indeed I was right!

"Hollywood Remake of ‘JSA’ in the Works (2005/05/13)

By Lee Yong-sung
Staff Reporter

David H. Franzoni, the producer and screenwriter of the Academy Award-winning epic blockbuster ``Gladiator,’’ will make his film directorial debut with a remake of the hit 2000 Korean movie ``JSA - Joint Security Area.’’

According to Thursday’s issue of the Hollywood Reporter, an American daily magazine specialized in the entertainment industry, Franzoni has purchased the rights to adapt the film, but will modify its political and geographic setting to appeal to a wider audience.

Thus, the demilitarized zone between the two Koreas, the setting for the original film, will be changed to the U.S.-Mexico border region, the daily reported.

The magazine also added that it is the first case of a copyright deal between an individual Hollywood film director and a Korean film production company. Previously, remake rights for Korean films were sold to U.S. studios through contacts between U.S. and Korean film companies.

So far the remake rights of over 10 Korean films have been purchased by U.S. film companies, including the comic action film ``My Wife Is a Gangster’’ and melodrama ``Il Mare (Siwolae).’’ The latter has been filming in Chicago since March, with Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock cast in the main roles.

Originally made by acclaimed director Park Chan-wook, also well-known for his 2004 Cannes Grand Prix award-winning film, ``Old Boy,’’ ``JSA’’ depicts the growing friendship between South and North Korean border guards and drew over 5 million people on its domestic release.

The film was also a hit in Japan upon its release in 2003, earning $10.8 million on ticket sales of 825,000.
