“Second Born,” based on an original screenplay by David Jagernauth, takes place in a futuristic world in which neural microchip implants are used to store one’s consciousness, leading to black market body-swapping.

Lock if old

 

[Cow Mengde]

Kinda sounds like Ghost In The Shell.

 

[Screaming Meat]

Park Chan-Wook? I'm in.

 

[Dachande]

Not the most original concept in the world, but I'll watch anything Park makes at least once.

 

[UnluckyKate]

Park Chan Wook ? In

 

[Angelus Errare]

Can't wait. I'm willing to watch anything Park cooks up.

 

[harSon]

I'll watch it since his hand is nowhere near the script. Dude's a wonderful director with an incredible eye for visuals, but he can't write a screenplay to save his life. I'm kind of hoping it's Strange Day's-esque in tone.

 

[Oersted]

David Jagernauth?

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Yes please!

 

[BadWolf]

I prefer his Korean made movies, with Korean actors.

Stoker sucked so much.

 

[Enduin]

I prefer his Korean made movies, with Korean actors.

Stoker sucked so much.

I liked Stoker. It wasn't perfect by any means, but it was bizarre and fun to watch.

 

[DieH@rd]

Kinda sounds like Ghost In The Shell.

No, not really. This sounds like Altered Carbon.

 

[Discotheque]

I prefer his Korean made movies, with Korean actors.

Stoker sucked so much.

Stoker was pretty well made, beautiful shots in there too

Not that great a movie but easily the best english film to come from these korean directors in the last few years

 

[thenexus6]

He is a director where i'll watch whatever he does. Sounds interesting too.

 

[Random Painted HIghway]

I would sell my first born for a surname like jagernauth

 

[Perfect Blue]

Stoker was pretty well made, beautiful shots in there too

Not that great a movie but easily the best english film to come from these korean directors in the last few years

You liked Stoker more than Snowpiercer?

 

[FloatOn]

You liked Stoker more than Snowpiercer?

I did.

I will watch this Second Born film.

 

[the black pearl]

liked, stoker. excited for this. loving the trend of science fiction hollywood is getting into. I'm hoping for some good cyberpunk movies. there arent many, particularly live action.

 

[Akahige]

Look forward to this.

Regarding his English language work, Stoker was good but could have been much more and that 20 minute fashion film he directed was pretty stupid.

It was certainly better than The Last Stand.

 

[Messofanego]

Well, since a Ghost in the Shell movie won't happen, might as well be hyped for this. Liked Stoker too mostly for the cinematography (dat hair/grass transition).

 

[Discotheque]

You liked Stoker more than Snowpiercer?

i've already shared my opinion on that awful film a few times on gaf, stoker's so much better

 

[Akahige]

Snowpiercer > Stoker

Come at me gaf.

 

[Infinite]

Sounds like the anime Kaiba.

 

[evanmisha]

Haven't seen any of his work since the sensational Vengeance trilogy.

How are his more recent films? Give it to me straight, GAF. Should I be excited about this?

 

[fuzzyreactor]

I prefer his Korean made movies, with Korean actors.

Stoker sucked so much.

eh, i liked it

You liked Stoker more than Snowpiercer?

yes, don't get the hype for that movie. very forgettable

 

[Noaloha]

Second to his simple knack for effortless cinematography is my love of Chan-Wook's penchant for taking his tales in directions entirely at odds with what an audience expects. With a set-up as rich in possibilities as this, I'm looking forward to some glorious hand-brake storytelling.

 

[overcast]

He has a fantastic eye, I'm in.

 

[More_Badass]

No, not really. This sounds like Altered Carbon.

Exactly what I was thinking. In fact when I read the synopsis, my first thought was "Cool, they're adapting Altered Carbon".

 

[Akahige]

Haven't seen any of his work since the sensational Vengeance trilogy.

How are his more recent films? Give it to me straight, GAF. Should I be excited about this?

I'm a Cyborg: ok
Thirst: great
Stoker: pretty good

I'd be excited just because even if the script is bad it will look nice.

 

[hwalker84]

I'm in!

 

[TheKaeptain]

[JDSN]

Name the protagonist Takeshi Kovacs and put like 4 20 minutes-long sex scenes on it.

 

[Fixed2BeBroken]

I prefer his Korean made movies, with Korean actors.

Stoker sucked so much.

let's be real tho....the directing of Stoker was amazing....

Acting was ok...

it's just the script/story wasn't that engaging.

but the shots...and the directing...superb

 

[Platy]

Yay new movie

Yay sci fi

that is the most generic synopses ever

"Lord of the rings is the new book by Tolkien .. it is about a land with elves and dwarfs" level of synopsis

 

[totoro'd]

Park Chan-Wook? I'm in.

this, he's awesome

 

[AgentOtaku]

Name the protagonist Takeshi Kovacs and put like 4 20 minutes-long sex scenes on it.

LOL

Actually read some of Altered Carbon and... well... yeah
Richard Morgan is an appearantly horny dude

 

[Lafiel]

Stoker was fucking awesome.

I will watch this.
