U.S. Remake of Infernal Affairs

Remember that Korean DVD I reviewed last week called Infernal Affairs? Well, apparently Hollywood doesn't think American audiences are smart enough to like it if it doesn't have white English speaking bo-hunks in it.
If this wasn't a remake I might be excited to see Scorsese, DiCaprio, Damon and Walberg working together on a gritty cop movie. But it IS a remake and for some reason it just strikes me as lazy.
