US release?
I would love for this to be released in the US.Does anyone know if this could happen?
shareThe Series has been sold to 50 different countries, but I don't know if that includes the US.
I read somewhere (just rumors for the moment), though, that US is considering making a remake, as usual :)
I'd rather learn Italian language than watch another mediocre US remake although I liked what they did with the British series Shameles
shareI'd rather learn Italian language
good luck with this plan ...I saw episode 1 yesterday and it's in Neopolitan, a dialect of Italian which I would say even those who have Italian as their first language would struggle to understand more than 50% of whats said. In Italy, it's broadcast in Neopolitan but non-speakers of Neopolitan can display Italian subtitles if they wish.
Neopolitan is not as extreme a dialect as Sicilian or Sardinian but it's close!! share
Neapolitan is actually a language and not a dialect of Italian.
shareIt's a very rare event when the US can do a remake that is equal to the original. That applies even more so when it's a Foreign Language remake.
I think the problem is one of "dumbing down". The writers/directors/producers assume that it is going to be watched by retards and write accordingly.
That's true though in my opinion, Homeland is better than the original :)
sharelove homeland(us) but totally disagree. I live in the US and prefer all the subtitled original series that i have watched over the remakes. I actually have watched mainly non us series in the last year. It was new to me to me and there are so many great well known series that have subtitles. (Engrenages, Braquo, Danish / Swedish thrillers, Borgen, Unit 1, The protectors, Returned, etc etc etc) I just watched The Legacy which is arvingerne (sp) a Danish series that came out this year and it was so great. The Uk airs the original series this year or may have already but the USA bought it and is remaking it. The show will lose its charm completely. The US even remade Broadchurch which is in eng and delivers Gracepoint... what a complete epic fail imo.
shareI too loved arvingerne and all the danish/swedish stuff. Adult tv for thinking people. Will check out the other suggestions you have made.
ok, im ready now!
Yes that was by far one of the best remakes ever for a tv show.. love them both, but the US version is just gritty awesome.
shareturns out learning Italian would not help much since the dialect in the series is very different than most Italians use
shareShamless US is far superior to the original. I know that's unusual, but the stronger writing, better cast, better direction and higher production values shine through.
