I am of the opinion that if Hollywood wants to make money they should shoot a scene, any scene, in China. Or, better yet, but an established or up-and-coming Chinese star in the flick so that Chinese will come watch.

Well now, it seems Martin Scorsese knows how good an idea this is. Scorsese has decided to do a remake of a Hong Kong crime thriller - "Infernal Affairs."

Great title!

But, Scorsese has changed the title to "The Departed." It will release on my little sis' b'day - October 6th.

It is rare for Hollywood to remake Hong Kong films. But, it is not rare for Hollywood to want to make money...and Chinese customers are where it's at these days.
