The 2010 Korean blockbuster movie, 'Man From Nowhere' which starred actor Won Bin will be remade in the States.

On March 8th, Deadline (Hollywood news provider) announced that Shawn Christensen who is famous for writing the script of Hollywood movie, 'Abduction' has been tapped to write the screenplay for the remake of 'Man from Nowhere' targeted to American audiences.

According to Deadline, "Dimension Films has purchased the full licensing rights to reproduce the movie from CJ Entertainment.  Producer Bob Weinstein read the script for the movie and requested Shawn Christensen to adapt the original script to American standards."

From a recent interview on the 9th with TV Report, CJ Entertainment revealed, "It's true that we sold licensing rights to Dimension.  However, we are still deciding whether to co-produce the remake or not.  I think we will have good news soon."

For those who haven't seen the movie, 'Man from Nowhere' is about a former secret agent who fights a mob of gangsters to save a young kidnapped girl.

As a die-hard fan of the movie, I can guarantee that the remake will never be as epic as the original, but I will hope for the best.
