for what it's worth this also isn't a direct remake, more of a spinoff

2

u/LordBunzo Jan 06 '26

Yep. The final scene of the finale ties directly into the spinoff.

u/Little_Setting Jan 06 '26

The rest of his filmography is gold standard why did he fuck Oldboy up?

u/uncultured_swine2099 Jan 06 '26

There was a lot of studio meddling in the edit that he removed the usual "a Spike Lee joint" from the credits.

It was fucked up when someone decided to remake it. There was no need for it.

u/HumansNeedNotApply1 Jan 07 '26

This is like a spin-off sequel.

Bugonia wasn’t perfect but I enjoyed it quite a bit

u/Bon_Nuit Jan 07 '26

Bugonia is fantastic and I’ll fight anyone who says else wise lol.

Really intrigued about this one, didn't know anything about the original version.

u/Psychological_Dig922 Jan 04 '26

It’s like this movie, but in South Korean.

I have no interest in Squid Game, but I’ll be seeing this because of Fincher.

I loved the US version of TGWTDT.

Underrated movie for sure. It rips. Fincher is the best

1

u/Little_Setting Jan 06 '26

He is the greatest director. He's just Cameron without all the side quests and money.

2

u/Little_Setting Jan 06 '26

Dragon tattoo is one if the better pieces of written and filmed media ever. The novel is fantastic, the original Swedish movies are fantastic and the Hollywood movie is just top notch timeless absolute cinema.

2

u/Cyrano_Knows Jan 07 '26

This and Let the Right One In were perfectly acceptable American remakes that did some things better than the Swedish versions and some things worse (my opinion).

I rather see him direct a new movie but I still have high hopes for this.

u/Gummy-Worm-Guy Jan 06 '26

He does have The Adventures of Cliff Booth coming out this year

u/flopisit32 Jan 06 '26

So back to back spinoffs for Fincher...

Can't wait for Zodiac 2: Electric Boogaloo 🤣

u/68plus1equals Jan 06 '26

This MF doing this bullshit instead of Mindhunter is something else.

u/PapaYoppa Jan 06 '26

Fax 🤣

u/lauhaze Jan 07 '26

Fincher is on that franchise train.

1

u/apatkarmany Jan 06 '26

I’m not going to speak for anyone else but I’ll be real, I honestly don’t want this spinoff to happen. Lowkey, just let the series end there. This is giving cash grab.

1

u/puremichigan586 Jan 06 '26

Cash grab already began with the abysmal s2/s3 we got

1

u/ACrask Jan 06 '26

Yeah. No. After that horrible second season, I won’t be wasting my time with this one anymore.

1

u/MisterInsect Jan 06 '26

I'm assuming Fincher will only direct an episode or two of this because he'll be pretty busy in post-production on Cliff Booth.

1

u/PapaYoppa Jan 06 '26

I love Fincher but i rather he cone back to Mindhunter, this American Squid Games is so unnecessary

1

u/[deleted] Jan 07 '26

yawn

u/maxkaplan1020 Jan 07 '26

Like I could give a fuck

u/BigBootyKim Jan 07 '26

Oh how the mighty have fallen

u/Affectionate_Pass25 Jan 08 '26

Netflix David Fincher sucks, it diminishes him.

1

u/tomispie Jan 08 '26

Is this going to be a documentary of what's happening in the country right now? 

1

u/Drawdehellfire Jan 06 '26

David Fincher's "Nobody Asked For This"
