On the 10th, American media outlet Deadline reported, ŌĆ£In an interesting development, we can reveal that Netflix is remaking its Korean-language movie Time To Hunt, marking the first time the streamer has adapted one of its local-language movies into English.ŌĆØ Time To Hunt is a dystopian action thriller movie that depicts a group of four friends who plan a heist to turn their miserable lives around. The thrill escalates as they are chased by a mysterious figure in the process of doing so. Time To Hunt was the first Korean movie to premiere on Netflix instead of the theaters due to COVID-19.
Adam Randall, who recently worked on Night Teeth, is set to direct the adaptation of Time To Hunt. Randall expressed, ŌĆ£I watched the movie early in lockdown and thought it was a really strong concept. ItŌĆÖs half heist, half chase movie, set in a near dystopia, so it combines three of my favorite cinematic genres. The version IŌĆÖm working on is set in the U.S. with a different story but similar structure. From what I understand, this is the first time Netflix has optioned one of its own foreign-language movies. The option process was a little complicated but is now done.ŌĆØ ┬Ā Source (1, 2) Translator Esther Lee: IŌĆÖll be providing you with up-to-date, reliable Korean entertainment news. Enjoy!
