Aww come on. The movie was good enough as the original, there is no point in making a remake. What's next? Are they going to do a remake of Cloverfield in Korean and China too?

Re... REMAKE? WHAT? THE HELL?

What the hell happened to that one prequel we were promised? AN AMERICAN ADAPTATION?

Well, I can't say it won't go well, but just the thought of a bastardization of a stand-alone classic movie is pretty evil. It's not like the Host was any bad, and hell, they even dubbed it. So WHY make a remake? Seems like a waste of time to me. The American audience has well enough access to this movie.

Well, given the nature of the guy behind this, I guess it won't be so bad. However, I just know it will lose that quirky emotional stuff between the family, which, made the movie much more than just "another giant monster movie". The American remake will probably be like Cloverfield: Explosions and Epicness.

I wish Universal also started to do the same thing with the Millennium series Godzilla films ,especially GMK. There's also was a Gamera 4 Fan Film made in China as a sequel to the Third 90's film.

Reminds me of the 1998 Godzilla remake.

It could be, but what if they make it like the original but in the American's perspective akin to KOTM, then we'll have a classic.
