The Korean zombie masterpiece is getting an American remake.
No director has been confirmed. Dauberman is rumored to be a possible candidate, though the film itself is likely still a long way off.
They’re remaking TRAIN TO BUSAN? Good luck. The original is perfect. And just *try* to find someone cooler than this fellow. pic.twitter.com/4WjOdOPWh7

The film takes place on a train bound for the Korean city of Busan — then, a passenger with a not-so-mysterious bite stumbles aboard. As the film progresses, the full scale of the zombie apocalypse dawns on the passengers, who find themselves on a tour of a zombie-infested nightmare.
The film was widely praised for its unrelenting tension, relying on atmosphere and breakneck pace.
The original’s thrill ride was accomplished with little reliance on gore, a rarity in the zombie sub-genre. The original is currently available on Netflix.
