‘Pirates’ director Gore Verbinski to produce ‘Host’ re-make

Not sure if this is stale news or not (by my read, this broke about a week ago) – but it’s still worth noting. Pirates of the Caribbean director Gore Verbinski will produce the U.S. re-make of the hit Korean creature feature The Host. First-time director Fredrik Bond will helm the production.

Once again, I feel the need to kvetch about yet another useless remake of a perfectly good film. If a new version brings fans to the original, fine – but in my experience that never happens. What could a new version of this film do that the original did not accomplish? T&A perhaps?

Wait – how about big piles of money! Could that be it?
