I could be wrong about this but here's some good news:
"If you've been holding your breath for director Justin Lin's long-rumored American remake of his Korean action hit "Oldboy," it sounds as though you may as well exhale: Dark Horizons reports that Lin, at the Sundance Festival this week, told Bloody Disgusting that it doesn't look like it's going to happen.
That's from Rotten Tomatoes and I remember seeing something about it on AICN as well.

thats a good question. as of right now, i think hes still attached to do it if it happens. here's another quote that i found. could be a bunch of crap but lets hope not.
"You don’t want to make a Xerox copy because the original is so brilliant. One day hopefully someone will cross that bridge, but right now nothing’s happening with it. If anything, it’s actually safely tucked away."
although hopefully instead one day someone will realize that remaking great movies is a stupid idea

The Host is F@#$^ Brilliant, and Memories of Murder is one of the grittiest detective movies I have ever seen. I see nothing but good ahead for this director!!!!

ALL his movies? OK, I just checked IMDB, can't believe I haven't done that until now. Has anyone seen "Barking Dogs Never Bite"?

Mem of Murder is excellent - a simple premise but it's SO well done it is one of my fav's. From the very first scene in MoM, he has this uncanny ability to mix humour with the obscene and make it work. I heard about The Host. I'll be sure to check it out.

Anyone seen S. Korea's The Host, directed by Memory of Murder's Joon-Ho Bong?
I saw it a few nights ago here in Vancouver and I have to say it was fantastic. Even so, I was so hyped for it that I couldn't help be a little let down.
I really loved it when the monster first appeared - the music was great at creating tension. The characters were well thought out. I cared about this disfunctional family and their search for one of its members. (trying not to spoil).
Just curious what others think.

Just finished watching The Host on DVD and it was AMAZING! Definitely keeps you on your toes, never knowing which way it's going to take you. Brilliant! If you have a chance to see this film, do it.
