And as the creator of the original, I don’t think there needs to be any similarities between the original film and the remake. In fact, I trust that they have their own quality and their own vision. It is moreover, as a creator, if your intention is to interpret it exactly the same … wouldn’t it be better to see the original version of Train to Busan? “, he concludes.
