In reply to Rodney.

Usually I would argue with you, Rodney…

But this isn’t exactly the kind of film aimed at teens and middle schoolers. That being said, as Rodney said.. if the target audience (bleh, Adults ages 22-33) recognizes fiddy before Statham or Rourke – which, they might anyways, considering The Expendables and Iron Man 2 – then yeah, they have issues.

eeehhh… I dunno… This kinda makes the film lose some credibility in my eyes. 50 Cent? How can I take a movie as enthralling as 13 Tzameti serious with 50 Cent in it? Not sure what they’re going for here. I have a feeling the intensity and suspense that made the original so good is gonna go out the door in favor of Hollywood special effects and a “big name” cast.

In reply to MADMAX_007. If someone recognizes 50Cent before they recognize Statham or Rourke, they need to graduate from highschool.

50 Cent does matter… not so much as an important character to the plot/story of this movie (IDK havent seen it but i’m takin a wild guess here), but as a MARKETING DEVICE. I bet you more people on this planet will recognize 50 Cent’s name on this poster more than the other names.

While the bad remakes definitely outnumber the good remakes, that doesn’t guarantee all foreign remakes are bad:

Infernal Affairs -> The Departed
La Jatee -> 12 Monkeys
Insomnia (Norway) -> Insomnia
The Seven Samurai -> The Magnificent Seven
Yojimbo -> Fistful of Dollars

And “Let Me In” was a good remake, just not a profitable one…

“Want to know how to ruin any anticipation of your adaptation of a critically acclaimed foreign language film?”

Remake it in Hollywood.(IMO)

my referance points:

Let the right one in(Sweeden)- Let them in(USA) :Why?

Nine Queens(Argentina)- Criminal (USA) : Criminal indeed!

Just 2 examples but you get my drift, there’s more BTW

13 Tzameti is a GREAT film. Regarding 50 Cent, I doubt just cuz he has top billing that doesn’t mean he’ll be one of the players, and hopefully that’s all he is.

I’m stoked about Jason Statham being in this, and am guessing he’ll be a player too. Hopefully it doesn’t get f***ed up, and retains it’s B&W roots. That’s what made the film so intense.

Woo!
