K-Pop Crossover: Groundbreaking South Korean Revenge Film `I Saw The Devil’ To Get U.S. Makeover

"I Saw The Devil," one of the most violent and depraved films to come out of South Korea in recent years, will be remade for American audiences.

Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett, the creative team behind the newly released genre film "The Guest," are nearing a deal to write and direct an English-Language version of the psychological thriller, according to The Wrap. The remake was first announced in December.

Released in 2010, the original "I Saw the Devil" showed how much more South Korean filmmakers could get away with than western directors. Directed by Kim Jee-Woon, it was an ultra-violent film that didn't waste one frame of its two-and-a-half hour running time.
