Disturbing a Shallow Grave
Danny Boyle's let the rights go to a Chinese remake of his debut pic, Shallow Grave: “If you are going to remake Shallow Grave you would make it in Shanghai... What a brilliant place to do it—it’s bursting with capitalist frenzy. We made Shallow Grave at a time in Britain when everyone was sick of the corruption of the Tories. Shallow Grave was really a very cynical look at what that obsession with money did to people... Now there is an explosion in Shanghai and it seems really worthwhile to remake the film. This is a case where the idea for the remake is an even better one than the original.”

Heyyyy...the Chinese aren't allowed to remake movies! Only Americans are allowed to take movies and remake them. What a sham!
