Do you know why Sony passed? {nm} Moviesnob Aug 05, 12:55

No. What's the reason? {nm} Antibody Aug 05, 12:58

i thought you knew, thats why i asked. I just googled it and this is from the ankler. Sounds like they thought it was too regional Moviesnob Aug 05, 13:01

Not an Ankler sub. {nm} Antibody Aug 05, 13:04

It’s a big risk to do a movie with a full Asian cast on something that’s very culturally Korean, which hasn’t been done before. Moviesnob Aug 05, 13:06

K-pop was at its peak, but it could have plateaued. There was a lot of uncertainty with that {nm} Moviesnob Aug 05, 13:06

Girl and boy bands music aren't Korean though. You can sub in Destiny's Child/Spice Girls vs. Backstreet Boys/NSNC. {nm} Antibody Aug 05, 13:16

I don't mean replace the cast literally, but that the story is universal. {nm} Antibody Aug 05, 13:19

these were quotes from the filmmakers, i should have put them in quotes. I was having trouble with the HSX formatting {nm} Moviesnob Aug 05, 13:19

Here's the quote via Popverse (?) Moviesnob Aug 05, 13:22

Thanks. If it wins any Oscar, it would still be considered Netflix win not Sony. {nm} Antibody Aug 05, 13:32

its worth noting its not tailing off, has a good shot at #1 {nm} Moviesnob Aug 05, 13:24

I'm still waiting on a "Gunsmith Cats" sequel, 3 episodes wasn't enough {nm} SirWinstonNewkirk Aug 05, 13:40
