Korean cinema in ‘precarious period’ due to Netflix, says Jang Joon-hwan
Director of Save the Green Planet, which is getting US remake, says film industry suffering amid rise of streaming
Although little is known about the remake, which is in post-production and due to premiere in the US in November 2025, one of the main changes is a gender swap for one the protagonists, a powerful pharmaceutical executive named Kang Man-shik in the original, which Emma Stone will play. Producer Ari Aster has said that part of the reason for the reboot of the film is that it echoes important socio-cultural themes in American society today, in particular the rise of conspiracy theories. Joon-hwan was partly inspired by an early online rumour that circulated after the film Titanic, which asserted that its star Leonardo DiCaprio was an alien who wanted to conquer Earth by seducing its women.
