When Train for Busan Hit in 2016, he reminded fans of the horror that the Zombi genre had still very bite. Yeon Sang-HoThe South Korean thriller has delivered emotional shares, planned shares and an environmental environmental train that raised it above the non -dead tariff.
Of course, Hollywood has noticed and an American remake, renamed The last train to New YorkIt was announced not long after, and for a while, it seemed that it could actually happen.
Forward fast so far and things have become strangely silent. In a recent chat with Entertainment Weekly, producer James Wan He finally offered an update. While the project still lives in the concept, it does not seem that it is on the right way to launch soon.
“Everything is really exciting. I hope that in the end it could take off. I have to be honest with you, I’m not sure where you are right now.”
Originally, The last train to New York he had solid names with which he connects May the devil take you director Thymus tjahjanto aligned to direct, with It screenwriter Gary Dauberman Manage the script. A release date of 2023 was floated. But now, WAN update paints an image of a project blocked somewhere in development limbo.
However, it remains confident for the creative direction. Rather than a beat-for-beat remake, Wan sees him as a company for the original:
“Creatively, it takes place in the same train of the train to Busan. [The zombie outbreak is] happen epidemically all over the world. So if the train to Busan is this particular slice of history in South Korea, we want the train to New York to be the set in America. “
That global approach could be the angle that distinguishes it … if it is ever made. The American remake of foreign horror gems are Hit-OR-Miss and the zombies are not exactly a scarce product right now.
However, the idea of an American socket on this concept, especially if it also captures a fraction of the intensity of the original, is difficult to ignore. Wan clearly believes it again. It remains to see if that train leaves the station.
