Who saw the 2006 Korean thriller The Host, originally titled Gwoemul in Korea? It was pretty awesome. In fact it brought in record-breaking numbers during it’s run in South Korea. At times the film is completely ridiculous, but REALLY great. I guess Universal Pictures and Gore Verbinski (Pirates I,II, III and The Ring) saw the same thing I did, because they’re planning on remaking Bong Joon-Ho’s masterpiece. They will be giving commercial director Fredrik Bond, his first chance at a feature and will be hiring Mark Poirier (Smart People) as the scribe.
