Another Round | American remake - Blu-ray Forum

Cremildo · 04-26-2021, 05:39 PM

Quote:

English language remake rights to Thomas Vinterberg’s Best International Film Oscar winner Another Round have been acquired after an auction. The film will be developed as a potential star vehicle for Leonardo DiCaprio and was won in a bid by his and Jennifer Davisson’s Appian Way, Endeavor Content and Brad Weston’s Makeready. The film will be fully funded by Endeavor Content and Makeready.

This was a hotly sought-after project, even before the film won Oscar in last night’s ceremony at Union Station. The difference-maker here to Vinterberg was the chance to see DiCaprio in a new role, the vulnerable middle-aged man in existential crisis played by Mads Mikkelsen.

The film will be produced by Appian Way’s DiCaprio and Davisson, and Brad Weston and Negin Salmasi for Makeready, and Endeavor Content. Appian Way’s Mike Hampton will shepherd the project. They will hire a writer quickly. [+]

No. Close the tab.

BTW, this idea sucks. The original is great.

I already hate it.

I don't think I've actually enjoyed DiCaprio in a role since The Departed, but I'm also INCREDIBLY biased as I found him a better actor when his face hadn't begun stretching.

so the last time you enjoyed Leonardo DiCaprio was when he was in an American remake of a foreign movie?

Hahahaha! Yes!

Are you, uh, LIGHTLY IMPLYING there stands a minuscule chance I could enjoy DiCaprio in Another Round: American Boogaloo?

Doesn’t mean this needs to ever be made or (re)made, except maybe as a Bollywood musical.

scarletlion · 04-26-2021, 06:12 PM

Who asked for this? It's not even released in the UK and Hollywood have begun plotting their plans to butcher it? Eugh, no thanks.

Creed · 04-26-2021, 06:23 PM

It hasn't even been a full day, after the Oscar win, and they do this shit.

I was expecting Will Ferrell, Kevin Hart, The Rock, and Steve Carell as the four.

...but yeah, we all knew this was coming.

What's the point. Is there anything to it besides changing the language? Anything at all? Will it be improved in any way?

This is a modern 2020 production with a big famous international star already and got nominated for Best Director at the Oscars. The remake will not be nominated for best director at the oscars and will get worse reviews.

Whats the point again.

The point of most remakes has been pondered by many and no one has come up with a good answer, other than: They are out of original ideas and/or refuse to take a chance on any new ideas or content.

What is wrong with Hollywood? I mean, yes this is not new but it's getting ridiculous. Especially now when foreign films so easily available to everyone everywhere in the world.

Monterey Jack · 04-27-2021, 01:32 AM

There's already an English-language version of this:

blakninja · 04-27-2021, 02:19 AM

So which new character will they make up this time and which will they merge? The Departed added a new guy and merged two girls into one.

Koller70 · 04-27-2021, 02:51 AM

DiCaprio, do that Roosevelt film or The Devil In The White City.
Don't waste your time in this unnecessary remake.

Poya · 04-27-2021, 02:53 AM

Guys, we all know this won't get made. Even if it does, Leo won't star in it.

Hope there's a scene where he consumes eight whiskey sours.
