Production

[edit]

In February 2017, The Weinstein Company acquired the rights to an English-language remake.[1] In December 2019, Issa Rae was announced to write and star in the US remake. Rae would produce the film along with Spyglass Media Group, a subsidiary of Lantern Entertainment, which acquired the assets of The Weinstein Company after its bankruptcy, Eagle Pictures and 3 Marys Entertainment.[2] However, in December 2023, it was revealed Rae was no longer attached to star in the film and that Carlo Carlei had recently come on board as director.[3]
