PANG BROTHERS COME TO HOLLYWOOD: C/D

It seems the Pang Brothers are coming to Hollywood to produce/direct THE SCARECROW... Tom Cruise's production company has bought the rights to their movie THE EYE (old news, I know).
I don't think the movies will be better than their work in Asia, just make more money.

I haven't really seen much of their work... though from what I've read of the others, it seems they wouldn't rank among the better directors in Thailand / HK at the moment. They seem to make very commercially-minded films, so maybe Hollywood isn't such a bad place for em?

Of course, for directors I like I'd say dud to the question, no doubt.

Though slow to start, THE EYE was pretty good. I rate it better than both Ju-On and Ringu. Bangkok Dangerous is great.

The only fellows from Thailand at the moment that are doing anything interesting these days are Wisit Sasanatieng and Prachya Pinkaew. So, I can't say how the Pangs don't rank among the better directors in Thailand right now.
