Jang Joon-hwan, director of the original SaveTheGreenPlanet!, will return to make his English-language debut with the remake, while 'Succession' writer Will Tracy is adapting the script
What would you get if you brought together the studio behind Bong Joon-ho's genre-bending Oscar winnerProbably something like this project, unveiled Thursday by Bong's backers in South Korea, powerhouse Seoul-based studio CJ Entertainment, and Aster's production banner Square Peg.The partners — an unlikely but inspired match — are teaming up to produce an English-language remake of the South Korean auteur Jang Joon-hwan's wildly original cult sci-fi classic.
“Swinging with youthful abandon between white-knuckle suspense, absurd slapstick, grim horror and a deeply felt sense of tragedy, Save the Green Planet! is one of the most remarkable films to come out of South Korea — among this recent wave or any wave, for that matter," said Aster in a statement.became a sleeper hit on the international festival circuit upon its release in 2003. The film was Jang's feature debut, which he followed with the revenge thriller titled.
Added Aster: "When we heard that director Jang was passionate about revisiting this iconic work, bringing it to the US and updating it to reflect the mess of the world today — which feels even more ripe for this kind of apocalyptic skewering than when the film was first released — we leapt at the chance to be a part of it."
Executive producing the remake are CJ Group Vice Chairwoman Miky Lee and CJ Entertainment’s Young-ki Cho and Jerry Ko. Fred Lee, CJ Entertainment’s Los Angeles-based director of development, Ini Chung, CJ’s Seoul-based director of development, and Seoul-based production exec Khan Kwon are co-producing and will oversee development of the project.
Said Miky Lee: "One thing we learned from our success with Parasite is that audiences globally are excited to see genre-bending films with big themes. Jang is a master of this in his own right, and we’re so glad to be working alongside Ari, Lars, and Will to help translate what made the original so special to an English-language version that feels relevant to what’s going on today.
