AFM 2015: French Film Inside Being Remade by Talented Team
When a foreign horror film, meaning one made outside the States, is a hit with fans, there’s a good chance it won’t be long before an English-language remake comes along. French film Inside is the next to get that treatment, and a team of talented Spanish filmmakers are at the helm. Read on!
Screen Daily reports today that [REC] writers Jaume Balagueró and Manu Diez, Kidnapped director Miguel Vivas, and producers Adrián Guerra and Núria Valls of Nostromo Pictures (Buried, Red Lights) are joining forces on Inside, a remake of Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury’s brutal debut.
The film follows a recently widowed mother-to-be living in an isolated new home who receives a most unwelcome visitor: a predatory woman who will stop at nothing to snatch her unborn child. Trapped and disorientated, the young mother must unleash all her reserves of strength to protect her baby and survive the night.
“Jaume had this great idea for the remake, and with Manu, they’ve reimagined the original film as a very classy and tense thriller,” said Embankment’s Tim Haslam. “With two great female characters fighting to be a mother, Miguel Ángel brings his distinct vision, setting up the film as a tense, sustained set piece that will keep audiences on the edge of their seats, for sure.”
Embankment Films will launch sales on the project at the upcoming AFM with the production aiming for a February 2016 shoot. Casting on the film is under way.
