Last Train To New York: All There Is To Know
Although the remake has been in talks ever since Train to Busan topped all charts in 2016, the official announcement of the remake came in the February of 2021. As most remakes do, Last Train to New York has also raised a lot of eyebrows. Keep on reading to find out fans’ reactions to the remake. The director for Last Train to New York is none other than the talented Indonesian director Timo Tjahjanto.

For his excellent direction and screenwriting, Timo Tjahjanto won the Best Director at Maya Awards in 2019 for May The Devil Take You.
Apart from his individual success, the director is also part of the talented duo ”The Mo Brothers” consisting of Kimo Stamboel and him. Furthermore, these two have gone on to give us timeless movies such as Dara, Killers, and Headshot. Moreover, Train to Busan was not a typical zombie apocalypse movie. Through the life or death ride from Seoul to Busan and the interactions between the passengers, the movie subtly raises questions on important issues such as economic discrepancy.

With Timo Tjahjanto as the director, fans are desperately hoping that the remake also manages to highlight the importance of humanity just like the original did. Although the name of the movie gives away the final destination of the train, it keeps fans guessing the origin of the movie. Countess fans think that Last Train to New York will pick up from Boston or Washing due to the four-hour travel time used in the original movie.

What makes things more exciting is that Gary Dauberman and James Wan will also be contributing to the screenplay and production of Last Train to New York. When Gary Dauberman, James Wan, and New Lines Cinema join hands, the products always result in a blockbuster. For instance, Annabelle, The Nun, and The Conjuring.
