TripZillaNot since the announcement of a live-action adaptation of Your Name have we felt this cynical about yet another movie remake taking place on American soil. This time, it’s the 2016 South Korean zombie blockbuster movie Train to Busan that will be getting the full Hollywood treatment. According to Deadline, the U.S. remake will be directed by Timo Tjahjanto (The Night Comes for Us and May the Devil Take You) and produced by James Wan (The Conjuring, Annabelle, The Nun).

Netizens were quick to broadcast their displeasure on social media platform, with many pointing out the lack of efficient high-speed commuter trains in the United States. Here are the best and funniest tweets that left us howling with laughter while also deepening our appreciation for the post-apocalyptic thriller.
