Cuthbert to be 'My Sassy Girl'

LOS ANGELES, July 24 (UPI) -- Elisha Cuthbert, who rose to fame on the U.S. TV series "24," is said to be prepared to assume the title role in the upcoming Hollywood film, "My Sassy Girl."

Daily Variety reported the 23-year-old actress is in final negotiations to play an energetic young woman who disrupts the life of a man living in a small Midwestern town in the Yann Samuell-directed film.

The film's screenplay, written by Vic Levin, was originally adapted from a romantic comedy created in South Korea.

After gaining popularity playing the daughter of Kiefer Sutherland's lead character on "24," Cuthbert has starred in a series of films, with the most recent being Frank Cappello's "He Was a Quiet Man" and the thriller "Captivity."

Variety said that "Sassy Girl," being produced by Gold Circle Films, is set to begin filming in New York on Oct. 16.

......
i have a lot of doubts about this one.

I'd watch it, I just don't think it'll be as great as the original. I don't think Elisha suits IMO.

you might wanna move this to another section!

I doubt it'll be as good as the original

which section would u suggest? Unfortunately i could not find the entertainment section, maybe i'm blind, or just stupid.

i think you're blind..lol..joke..

anyway, this should be under other tv, movies forum

alright i found it w00t... this tread has moved!

no, you have to pm a mod to ask them to move for you

*is having mixed feelings about this*

ELISHA CUTHBERT??? Wow, I'd like to see this now...lol. I can't picture her taking Jeon Ji Hyun's place in My Sassy Girl. We'll see. I wonder who will play the role of Gyunwoo

It doesn't matter. I would still honor the first, because it was the original.

Remakes are rarely as good as the original... but I want to know how it turns out, definitely =).

I kinda didn't find the Korean version that interesting XD I doubt I'd watch the US version =S

probably going to turn this movie into a lame one

It's just weird in an American version, I'm 100% sure that I'll like the Korean better lol. No offense :X, it's just ... weird. I didn't like The Lake House compared to Il Mare.

Jeon Ji Hyun rocks! I just watched the new movie she was in called Daisy. Highly recommended .

I havent seen it but i doubt its any good as the original... i mean the korean versin he was hot ^^ lol

to tell you the truth, i can actually see elisha as this character 0_o

I'm actually quite sure it won't be half as good as the original Remakes of horrors are fine, but of something like this nobody can do it better then jeon ji hyun =]

AIYAAAAAA..HER! I could never imagine her as the girl in my sassy girl >.< I'll watch it but I don't think it'll be as good as the original..*wonders who the male character is going to be*

i would watch it just for the sake of watching it
but it wouldnt be as great as the original

I agree, and don't believe it will be as good as the original. Not even half as good.

Takes place in New York? There's a couple of hurdles the storyline might have to overcome, not to mention the cultural differences. I mean, the subway scene for instance. That happens in NYC and someone ends up in a body bag.

This is coming from a non-Asian who had to watch it with subtitles, not that that really makes a difference.

that's stupid -__-;; all these americans are stealing asian movies

^ i agree.
i doubt it would be good as the original. :0
but i would just watch it anyways to check it out.
who knows.. maybe Elisha will suit the role.

elisha is not as Kooky as jeon ji hyun. cant think of any hollywood actresses who are kooky, feisty, yet charming.

I could imagina Topher Grace playing the lead guy, Or Colin Hanks. They are actually lots of dorky but cute guys in Hollywood

pfftt I'd like to see them try. but I'd still like to see how it turns out. who knows? maybe it'll be better than the original. and no I'm not being sarcastic xD

ok, that's dumb... remaking My Sassy Girl. How in the hell would they adapt Asian Cultural references to American... Another one of those ploys Hollywood uses to make more money. Already, I can tell this remake is going to be bad. i.e. "....play an energetic young woman who disrupts the life of a man living in a small Midwestern town in the Yann Samuell-directed film"

-Ok, the guy lived in the "CITY"...
I would set it in a place like... "San Francisco"

i'm a bit worried about this one too, yet a bit curious as well. i'm sure i'll watch it but seriously i don't think it can beat the original.

I'll give it a shot. (of course won't be better than original My Sassy Girl)

I gave The Lake House a shot and loved it =)

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! nooooooooo!!!!!!! elisha doesn't seem the type who can have multiple dramatic moods in a day

ppl aren't even going to know
that its originally korean
TT.TT;;

ugh i say stop making asian remakes!
they give no cred to us.

Well they don't give us credit when they plagerize our songs do they??
No!

People have alot of nerve getting mad at america remaking these asian films when alot of asian artists flatout plagerize our music.

Atleast america gets permission

I haven't watched anything with her in it so I duno how it'll turn out...
But I'm damn sure no one can top Jun Ji Hyun's and Cha Tae Hyun's performances.

Wow, Elisha Cuthbert? That's interesting. I watched 24 when she was in it and.. I don't know about that. Doesn't really seem to suit her but we'll see.

PUAHAHAHAHAHA, I fell over laughing when I read this! It's so true though, I couldn't have said it better myself (this from an Asian American). A lot of people think a bad remake cheapens the original work, but it has as much significance as you attach to it. Personally if I loved a movie so flippin' much I wouldn't let a bad remake bother me. It should take nothing from what you loved about the original.

Now, onto the remake. I'll watch it for the sake of comparison, but largely because I'd be interested in seeing how they adapt all the Asian concepts and personalities. I liked the original of course, it was great, but people just go nuts over it.

hey not bad about the main female~ i think she could pull it off^^ im going to give this movie a shot

It's not like Korea encouragess plaglarism. Look at all the crap that Hyori's getting for copying Britney's song.

But the thing about movie remakes is that they have legal permission.
At least it shows that American producers have acknowleged Korean movies. ^^

And I'm not going to be bias by saying that the original is better...
I personally didn't like the original "My Sassy Girl."
I'll definitely give the remake a try.

at first i wasn't too excited for the remake but what the heck?
of course they have changed things & it might come out really good
i'm definitely going to go see it, too early to say anything about it

Well it still goes on anyway.

I said at least americans do give credit and get permission.

Huh. I thought Rachael Leigh Cook was gonna play the lead?

Elisha Cuthbert should just stick to making crappy movies like The Girl Next Door & House of Wax. But whatever. I have a bad feeling about this one.

i didn't like the original one at all
hope the remake would be better
i doubt this tho

^ Why not?!

I hate American re-makes of stuff. It's almost as bad as the Taiwanese remakes... oh wait! They're worse. I saw "The Lakehouse" and was like... o___0 because I liked the original way better.

THEY CAN'T DO THIS TO US!! MY SASSY GIRL IS ONE OF MY FAVE KOREAN MOVIES!!! I'll be so pissed off if they screw it up... *fume*

Elisha Cuthbert?
Mmm, I don't know if she can fit the character.
Obviously, the remake won't be as good as the original, but I'll give it a try.
I'll be waiting. :]

i don't mind cuthbert... i liked her in that movie with emile hirsch...
personally the original didn't really move me so i can't be bothered...
but i'd definitely see it just cos...

mmm... I'll be curious to see how they pull it off... =T
Don't really think its gonna be better than the original, but I've decided to give it a shot =P

IMO, Elisha doesn't really fit the character though

i hope this comes out rite. elisha cuthbert... can she pull it off?

elisha cuthbert will play the role of "my sassy girl"

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0404254/

i like her being casted...it wasnt sum1 i was expecting like Lohan or Duff...she was good in The Girl Next Door, and she definatley has the cute/mean expression down...

guess we'll wait to see who the guy is...hopefully not Ashton Kutcher, but I would love to see Topher Grace do the role...but I think he's leaning more towards serious roles...Justin Long is another guy who could play the role too...

Same here. I hope its Topher Grace. I can see him playing the role =]
Cant wait to see it. Have to see if its good as the korean one.
