Folks I just saw Parasite and I’m floored what a masterpiece of a movie. I have been thinking so much about this movie. I’m going to watch it again. I know remakes of amazing foreign movies don’t work. But who would you guys cast in an English language remake? And for which roles?

There’s already a show or a miniseries in the works, so this film version won’t happen.

However, if it were a film, I don’t think they should cast super famous people.

I’d cast the same actors so they could win Emmy.

Nobody wants to see a white version of Parasite.

I think if you HAVE to remake Parasite in America, race and racism should be layered into the story to justify the remake. One of these families should be cast with people of color.

No one. Don’t remake it. Don’t exploit a film that is supposed to be against capitalism.

I thought about it but making one of the families Black made it seem offensive. If they are rich, they will be portrayed as stupid buffoons, if they are poor they’ll end up being “the help”, which is racist. It is why I chose all white actors.

But a whole black cast would also work. But making the cast inter-racial would end up being problematic, which is another reason why it shouldn’t be remade.
