“Train to Busan” Theatrical Poster
Indonesian director Timo Tjahjanto (The Night Comes for Us) of the “Mo Brothers” directing duo (Killers, Headshot, Macabre), will helm Warner’s The Last Train to New York, a U.S. remake of Yeon Sang-Ho’s 2016 South Korean blockbuster hit, Train to Busan.
The original Train to Busan, which starred Gong Yoo (The Age of Shadows), Jung Yu-Mi (A Bittersweet Life) and Ma Dong-Seok (Champion), was actually a sequel itself to Sang Ho’s animated film, Seoul Station. Train to Busan was followed up with 2020’s Peninsula, which was also directed by Sang Ho.
Deadline reports that Atomic Monster’s James Wan and Michael Clear and Gaumont’s Nicolas Atlan and Terry Kalagian will produce alongside Coin Operated’s Gary Dauberman, who is adapting the screenplay. Judson Scott, Sidonie Dumas, Christophe Riandee and Johanna Byer are executive producing.
The Last Train to New York has a scheduled release date for April 21, 2023.
Without me. Next.
Look shite
I have faith in Timo. But statistically, Asian film directors who had been successful in their homeland usually pump out subpar Hollywood products.
For every Hard Target theres 10 Stokers
Timo is no Gareth Evans or John Woo. His writing is really bad and has no knack for discovering talent. Without Gareth’s handpicked cast for him to piggyback off of, expect this to be a complete abomination.
