While Focus Features decides when to release Chan-wook Park's vampire-comedy "THIRST" in theaters, there is already talk brewing of a potential remake.
While Park's Korean producers on those three pics were able to deal directly with the interested U.S. parties, "THIRST" is a co-production between CJ Entertainment and Universal-based Focus Features Intl., so Focus gets first look on any potential English-language remake, reports Variety.
While CJ Entertainment's head of international film financing Mike Suh said it is still early days in terms of discussing a remake of "THIRST", it is another CJ project generating heat.
In the same article it revealed that his "SYMPATHY FOR MR. VENGEANCE" is being remade by "TRANSFORMERS" producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura.
Chan-wook directed the critically acclaimed "OLDBOY".

Synopsis : Sang-hyun, a priest working for a hospital, selflessly volunteers for a secret vaccine development project intended to eradicate a deadly virus. However, the virus eventually takes over the priest. He nearly dies, but makes a miraculous recovery by an accidental transfusion of vampire blood. He realizes his sole reason for living: the pleasures of the flesh.
