Elisha Cuthbert is ‘My Sassy Girl’
Elisha Cuthbert (24) and Jesse Bradford (Flag of Our Fathers) were spotted filming their new film, My Sassy Girl, in NYC’s Madison Square Park yesterday afternoon.
Jesse, 27, and Elisha, 24, play the two main stars of My Sassy Girl, which is a remake of a South Korean romantic comedy film. The film will tell the story of a sweet Midwestern guy (Bradford) with his life planned out for himself is wooed, groomed, and ultimately dumped by a complicated, elusive gal (Cuthbert). It’ll be interesting how the two movies will compare, especially the girl’s mantra, “YOU WANNA DIE?” (JOO GUL LAE?).
My Sassy Girl is directed by newcomer Yann Samuell and is set for nationwide release later this year.

I got a chance to watched the originally Sassy Girl in South Korea and the story really made me cry. It was so touching! Love it.
i loved the korean film, and i hope this one lives up to the essence of the original. not too happy about elisha playing the sassy girl. that’s just my opinion, and i think they could have chosen a better actress.
i hate it when hollywood remakes good foreign films… just release the mother effing movie here. The korean humor and characteristics will not translate into the mainstream movie industry and this elisha girl regardless of how pretty she is no jun jihyun. lets be honest kids. STOP REMAKING GOOD MOVIES!!!! HOLLYWOOD I’M TALKING TO YOU !!!! >:[
sorry yall its just so annoying to see another good film be ignored while a hollywood sponsored remake is just going to flop at the box office. (ie The ring remake, then its worthless sequel, the sandra bullock keanu reeves movie that flopped this year can’t think of the name but yall know it was lame…)
EVERYONE SHOULD SEE THE ORIGINAL! it’s amazing!
can’t believe they’re still doing remakes. and of this film???
but having Elisha in the title role (and Samuell behind the lense) does make it look like they’re at least trying to do a good job.
btw, Yann Samuell is not a newcomer. hasn’t been one since 2003 - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1367933/
hell no. why see the remake when u can watch a perfectly good original.
i’ll probably watch this out of curiosity. on dvd.
seriously, how can they possibly translate the korean humor to the american screen? JOOGULLAE! hahahaha classic!
sounds like “My Fair Lady” with a twist.
i really don’t think elisha cuthbert is right for the role.. she is very pretty but something doesn’t seem to click.
“stop remaking movies”, I completely agree with you. I couldn’t have said it better myself. Hollywood’s remakes of their vastly superior foreign originals is pathetic. It just shows how completely out of ideas Hollywood is. Simply pathetic. It’s a joke.
I agree. Hollywood should stop remaking foreign films and just release the original, which already has subtitles. Otherwise, the only chance at replicating the humor in the original is to have the movie done by Korean actors who speak English!
Original movie suck.
This movie base on novel, that novel was good and very humorous.
But Korean director made it as a horrible movie.
Most of Korean which read novel and watch this movie said “WFT problem with director?”
I really hope American version will be better than original.
stupid idea…the original was perfect, there is no way Elisha Cuthbert can pull this one off…
WTF??? I love the original version of MSG. How would they translate the Korean’s funny dialogue. I hope this new version doesnt ruin the orginal story of Korean version.
actually, wasn’t it based on a korean guy’s blog entries, #11???
I watched the original South Korean movie. It was hilarious. I can’t wait to see how this remake will match up to the real thing. Hope there will be good chemistry between the two. Elisha Cuthbert seems like an unlikely choice. Someone more feisty would’ve been a better choice.
I just finished watching My Sassy Girl on YouTube and it was great. Not sure how the American public will actually receive the movie. Asian humor in movies isn’t quite the same as American humor nor romance. I love the ending.
I highly doubt those 2 actors could act as funny as the original ones.
the movie is based on a story posted on the internet…
i don’t think remaking this good korean movie will be great… they did it with the ring and they totally deviated from the original and didn’t turn out fine… remaking doesn’t bring out what the movie really wants to express, even dubbing it wouldn’t be the same…
i also don’t agree with the actors, i’m sorry… i just love the movie so much that i don’t like it to be ’stained’…
Who cares about this movie?
No one cares.
Only Korean cares. lol
We all know. So many koreans in this topic. lamo
anyone who takes mariah carey as a screen name, your credibility goes out the window immediately.
i’m not korean btw.
as far as i know, you are correct, eharley (#14). just like in the movie, the guy blogged his story on the net. i mean the original is da bomb. nobody can top it. but i bet you everybody who’s complaining about the remakes is gonna see it anyways… i don’t want them to remake it, but i’m definately gonna watch it when it comes out. not cuz i really want to watch the remake, but i wanna see the difference. haha
hey, dizzy ;) yeah, a few people have already said that even though they love the original, they will see the remake just to make a comparison. i can’t bring myself to see it because i don’t like the western actors that have been chosen (it’s not so much about their looks but more about their acting skills), and, i guess i’m just too devoted to the original.
i do wonder how certain aspects of the korean culture will be westernized or translated to western audiences.
i love the original korean movie. after that, i got hooked to more korean movies. I really hope that they can make a good remake although i also have doubts.
they are going to butcher the movie :(
well, who can act like original ?
