can anyone here give me an opinion about the remake of “My Sassy Girl” in hollywood? i don’t know if it would be a great idea to make a remake of such an excellent movie like that… any opinion yummy?
May 1st, 2007 at 11:47 pm
Pinun0… I doubt it would work. The culture is different, Hollywood would prefer some more steamy stuff…
May 2nd, 2007 at 8:44 pm
but i don’t think Elisha Cuthbert would fit in the character?
May 2nd, 2007 at 10:16 pm
Well, if they do try to remake the movie, I think Elisha Cuthbert would be a good candidate to become the Sassy Girl.
