Get Ready for An American Makeover for a Korean 200 Pound Beauty
May 11th, 2007 by dd
Mark my words, Dumplings, this mega Korean hit will land on US Soil in some slick Hollywood re-make courtesy of Roy Lee. No, DaDump can’t read the future; he just knows the game and the rules dictate that this Asian box office feel good story will be too good to pass up.
What’s it about? Here’s the synopsis: Hanna is a famous Korean pop singer who suffers from extremely poor self-esteem basically because she’s obese. After making the decision to have full-body plastic surgery, things turn around.
And what’s more, the actress who plays the main role, Kim Ah-joong, is also set to become the next big star out of Asia. She’s already receiving the star treatment around Asia, most recently in Hong Kong for her portrayal of the 200 Pound Beauty.
An official at her management agency quoted local media as predicting Kim would surpass the fame of Jeon Ji-Hyeon, the heroine of Sassy Girl, which topped box office records in Hong Kong.
Kim has held numerous interviews with some 150 media outlets and met with Hong Kong film officials on possible roles in a Chinese film or a joint Korean-Chinese production.
Remember DaDump when this film hits your local cineplex with some hottie starlet who can sing. Til then, check out the trailer below…
