Reply to comment by BeginningAppeal8599 in Michael Fassbender & Alicia Vikander Set For Thriller ‘Hope’ From ‘The Wailing’ Director Na Hong-Jin by indig0sixalpha

The Wailing was a bit too fucked up/scary/depressing for me but give me something like The Chaser again and ill be first in line

The Chaser is so dark but so compelling. Love movies with a reluctant protagonist.

It's a thriller than nails its emotional moments. Hard to find those.

Saw The Chaser at the Cinema, still remember the poster in the lobby saying “being remade by the producers of The Departed”.

Lol. I didn't even know they're gonna remake it. Probably gonna suck like the Old Boy remake.

Cool username btw.

That was over 15 years ago, doubt there’ll be a remake now. Just makes me laugh how eager they were to slap that quote on the poster trying to cash in on the success of Infernal Affairs/The Departed and it never fucking happened. Old Boy remake was soooo bad, unwatchable bad, Charltoy Copley doing that weird whiny voice.

Cheers for the compliment, it’s a combination of my two favourite things,Delroy Lindo & Delboy Trotter. And also Snake Plissken username was taken.

I remember watching The Chaser prior to it’s wide release at the Busan International Film Festival and Na along with the leads all came out afterwards to do a Q&A session. I got to speak with him briefly and unfortunately the translator misunderstood what I asked but he still gave very thoughtful responses and it was a really cool moment to share that space with the man who made this film and a very excited audience. It was also disturbing watching an actor portray a serial killer so well and then walk out onto the front of the theater 20 feet in front of you. Gave me chills.

Since I could never get that first experience I had with The Chaser I'd rather rewatch The Wailing.
