new korean movie is apparently breaking all kinds of box office records over there. it looks pretty freakin scary if you ask me.
what pisses me off is that dreamworks apparently is rumored to be in the talks for a remake. I didn't think spinny chairs or ladders made the ring any scarier, so I hope it doesn't happen.

Why do we remake these movies? Do asian countries feel the need to remake Titanic and Forest Gump with their local actors? It just seems weird to me.

Because
1) we can
2) we think we'll do it better than they did

That's called protectionism (a soft name for xenophobia).

You know of Seanbaby right?
He did some movie reviews for a local free paper (www.thewavemag.com, though I'm not sure if the reviews are archieved in the web-version) of Turkish versions of Wizard of Oz, E.T., and Superman, as well as the remake of Star Wars from Brazil, Turkey, and Italy.
So we aren't the only ones who remake foreign films badly!
(btw-I'd pay good money to see an asian version of Forest Gump if it was localized. I think would be interesting to the story of a simple man with a simple view of the world living in 50's/60's China. HEY! They could even use advanced CGI to make HIM play ping-pong againist Forest linking their stories!!!!)
