A much-lauded Korean movie is to be remade in the U.S. with a big star headlining in it.
According to the Boston Globe, Park Chan-Wook’s “Sympathy for Lady Vengeance” (sometimes called “Lady Vengeance) is to be remade and Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron will star as the leading role, originally played by Lee Young-ae.
Theron will also produce the movie, which is the third and final installment in Park Chan-Wook’s vengeance series after Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance’’ (2002) and “Old Boy’” (2003).
"Sympathy for Lady Vengeance," won the Young Lion and Best Innovation awards at the 62nd Venice Film Festival.
CJ Entertainment, the distributor of the film, says discussion is underway for production but there is no word yet on when production is set to begin.
