it would be ironically better if it was on a Hyperloop
wow a Zombie movie that happens on New York, nobody has ever thought that in the history of Cinema
also whats with Americans liking a South Korean movie/show with anti-capitalism undertones and that highlights the RoK gov failures and completly missing the point?
this is like 4th time this happens

Because Americans are completely incapable of understanding any sort of subtext, no matter how blatant it is. It's one of the things that amazes me the most about them. It seems like something similar to being functionally illiterate.
My brother and my dad both refuse to even admit subtext exists. It's baffling how intentionally stupid some people are
Americans don't even know what a train is, so right there the idea is flawed.
I don't know what's more ridiculous about this remake - that there's a CEO and a fonds manager traveling by train in the US or that the last American city to survive a zombie plague outbreak is NYC.
A horror film on the Hyperloop would just be someone riding the Hyperloop with a camera. I'd be scared for them the whole time.
You can just watch with subtitles or if you're like me and are too lazy to do that you can just dub it. I have no idea why a movie needs to be remade for American audiences. Is the American brainpan too small to comprehend Asian cinema?
I love that they picked NYC because there literally aren't any other cities connected to major passenger rail lines in the US. Also can't wait to watch zombies shuffling around on a train going 20mph because Amtrak.
They all die instantly because shambling zombies are somehow faster than the train
People really just don't know that there are any alternatives to capitalism, so any critisism of it just completely goes over their heads. its the whole fish don't know about water thing. its maddening!
money isn't real. jobs aren't real. you are a wage slave. you barely have any freedom. none of us do. we are chained to a job that is killing the planet, and we have to pay for the privilege (rent, car payments, insurance, food, debt)
I was reluctant to give Train to Busan a try because Walking Dead and the insultingly shit remakes of the Romero films had soured me on the whole zombie genre. Fortunately somebody on here recommended TtB, so i still gave it a shot on Halloween. Loved it, always glad that there's still entertaining, well-made, properly paced zombie flicks out there. Good to see there's still filmmakers left who understand dramaturgy and how important it is to make a movie about survival to be character driven, or to establish rules for how the zombies work and then play with that. The anticapitalist message was well delivered, too, loved the snark towards the protagonist.
I'm guessing all of that will be ruined in this adaptation.
I like how they even strip the subtlety from the title
Can't trust the piggies to use their thinking glands
