South Korean's popular monster movie is getting the Hollywood treatment

The Host trailer


From Darkhorizons, "South Korean monster movie "Host", which made a big debut at Cannes, is being lined up for a Hollywood remake reports Variety.

The original, directed by Bong Joon-Ho, follows a huge amphibious mutant that emerges from Seoul's Han River and focuses its attention on attacking people. Along with splasy digital effects, the film contains assorted political barbs aimed at both the Korean and U.S. governments.

Multiple studios are said to be circling "The Host," which has a U.S. distribution deal with Magnolia Pictures. A deal on remake rights is expected to be set by early fall." Check out the trailer above, it looks really fun.
