It’s exactly the style that Fincher would like… Just look at things like “Fight Club” . Personally, I wish they would work on something like the American brand of the organization in “Squid Game” instead of a remake
Wow, David Fincher??? It already sounds like a blockbuster production
Well, it hasn’t been about 10 years, and Part 2 is coming out soon, but they’re already doing a remake? The original work is still in progress. What is this doing?
Why are they already remaking “Squid Game”when the second season hasn’t even been released yet?
What is the reason for their decision to create a remake at this point?
