While ‘Train to Busan 2’ is a shady matter, the Hollywood Reporter says the zombie thriller ‘Train To Busan’ started a bidding war for its remake rights with 20th Century Fox, Sony Pictures and even from France’s biggest studios like Gaumont, Canal Plus and EuropaCorp. Report says NEW’s international rights division, Content Panda said, “There has been a lot of interest since the film received positive reviews at the Cannes Film Festival in May.
