Not too long ago I did a review of the French film 13 Tzameti (you can see the review here). A decent film that HUGE potential because of it’s main story arc, but didn’t quite live up to that potential. Still, the movie got some buzz and even won a couple of film festivals.
It’s now been announced that 13 Tzameti is going to be remade into an American version. And you know what… this could be the perfect film to remake. Think about it… the original is a FANTASTIC concept, but fell kinda short in the execution. Maybe the remake can use that concept and tighten up on the original’s weaknesses.
Apparently there are already a lot of BIG A-LIST actors who are wanting the role. According to the good folks over at Cinematical:
the New York Post reports Joaquin Phoenix, Tobey Maguire, Heath Ledger and Leonardo DiCaprio are all circling the film’s lead role, though a clear and distinct front-runner is yet to be seen.
Yeah, if any film was right for a North American remake, then this is it.
