First released in 2016, the groundbreaking Korean zombie movie “Train to Busan,” directed by Yeon Sang-ho, was a global sensation and garnered critical acclaim for its fresh perspective on an aged genre. Not only did it perform exceptionally well within its native markets, but it also proved successful in territories such as the US and Canada. In 2021, news broke about an American remake of the Korean action-horror film, titled “The Last Train to New York,” with James Wan producing and Warner Bros. handling distribution. Initially slated for release in April 2023, the film was later removed from the schedule in 2022, leaving fans in limbo about its future. However, recently, Timo Tjahjanto, the filmmaker assigned to the project, provided an update on the remake, but the information may not be encouraging.
