Hollywood remakes of foreign-language films aren’t anything new, so it comes as no surprise that one of the most recent foreign offerings to strike it big is getting the American treatment, according The Hollywood Reporter.
Winner of the Jury Prize in Un Certain Regard at the Cannes Film Festival, critically acclaimed Swedish film Force Majeure is set to be remade by Fox Searchlight Pictures, with Veep star Julia Louis-Dreyfus eying the lead in the film, as well as producing.
After her massive success in Seinfeld in the 1990s, Dreyfus is having a big renaissance of late, with a Golden Globe nomination for her work in Enough Said alongside the late James Gandolfini, as well as her hit HBO show Veep, which returns for a fourth season on April 12th in the US.
No official confirmation on the casting or director for the film has yet been announced, so we will update any news when we get it.
