Il Mare remake (The Lake House)

I remember there was a previous thread about this before but I couldn't find it.

I'm sure everyone knows that "Il Mare" is being adapted into an American movie with Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock. And it will be released sometime during the summer of next year. So I just wanted to share this picture I found and see what you guys think.

I don't really have any high expectations about this movie... but what I'm really disappointed about is the gosh darn mailbox! It would have been nice if they used the same mailbox from the original movie.

I have no expectations for this movie (prolly cuz I don't plan to watch it Roll Eyes

). To tell the truth, the remake of Shall We Dance wasn't all that bad, it just wasn't up to par with the original, so, that's the end of that. And to watch my favorite romantic korean movie been mishandled, no, I cannot and will not stand for that Cussing

Hopefully, they will give up on any possibility of a remake of My Sassy Girl (that would make me cringe, just at the thought pale

)

I just saw the trailer of Il mare, or should i say The Lake House, today on tv. Here's the official website for the movie. It is to be released in June. I hope they credited the original movie.

Well i just watched the trailer.

And it has two of my old favourite hollywood actors - keanu reeves and sandra bullock. I loved them in speed. But
they are attempting to Westernise one of THE most amazing romantic movies I have seen in a long time. I don't know how successful they will be.
But since no one seemed to even know that this was being released then I would hazard a guess that its been in the pipeworks for awhile.

Also I felt that Sandra's intro to the trailer was very weak - she just seems to be too
bland and boring. She's not getting emotion across to me. But then who could they
have chosen for that role?

Personally even with all that the lake house seems to have going for it, I still prefer IL MARE - it is the original.
And it is not just hollywood that copies korean movies ( and gets them wrong) - can we really forget bollywood's attempt to pass off zinda as
a completely original and exciting story - that is as opposed to the complete knock-off it was of oldboy (minus certain themes!)

BTW yes they do credit IL MARE. if you watch the trailer right at the end it says that its based on the motion picture il mare produced by (1 of my
favourites) Sidus.

Sandra Bullock is one of my fave actress during my younger years (speed enthusiast hehe) so i guess i could forgive them for making a remake of it.. i'll even watch it.. even though they changed the plot quite a bit... Glare

but of course there's just no duplicating the original.. Jeon Ji Hyun is the best! thumleft

I wonder what would've happened if they're released il Mare in the United Stated with English Subs.

Would anybody see it?

I highly doubt it unless you're asian Laugh

I saw the trailer on tv and it looks pretty similar to IL Mare as far as the house and storyline.

It's pretty hard to beat a remake of any movie cuz it's the first movie.
I'm gonna have to watch the movie to make a reasonable judgement Tongue

yeah i notice that they are making remakes of asian movies....like a couple months ago they made a movie i think it was called Aqua Marine but the storyline was kind of like the chinese movie Mermaid Got Married starring christy chung.....the mermaid gets legs and then falls in love or likes a guy....then now they have The Lakehouse which looks just like Il Mare.....i think its nice that they are remaking their own versions of the movies but I hope they do give credit to where they get the ideas from....
