Comments on: Casting Set For US Remake of Infernal Affairs? https://www.themovieblog.com/2004/07/casting-set-for-us-remake-of-infernal-affairs/ The Correct Opinion Wed, 01 Sep 2004 01:55:09 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Erwin https://www.themovieblog.com/2004/07/casting-set-for-us-remake-of-infernal-affairs/#comment-7077 Wed, 01 Sep 2004 01:55:09 +0000 http://themovieblog.com/?p=725#comment-7077 Does anyone else realize there is something fundamentally wrong with American cinema string-pullers?

Why even re-make movies like this and “Shall We Dance?”? Can Asians take the big screen in the US without wearing traditional garments or doing kung fu? I guess it would be too revolutionary in this new millenium to show mainstream America that Asians can dance and be cops. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon proved that people will read subtitles for a good movie experience. Even if Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio do a spectacular job, the concept of a re-make here is so subversive.

Think about it.

Best yet, they should just take it and sub it like Hidden Tiger. They’ll still make tons of money.
