Danny Boyle okays Chinese Shallow Grave remake

Director Danny Boyle has given the okay for a remake of his 1994 cult classic Shallow Grave. At the helm of this Chinese remake will be director Agan, to whom I only see 2 film credits over at IMDB [a little help here?].

"If you are going to remake Shallow Grave you would make it in Shanghai," Boyle said. "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."
