Just one day after winning the Academy Award for Best International Feature, Another Round is headed for an English language remake. The remake will come from Academy Award winner Leonardo DiCaprio and his Appian Way production company.
The news, first reported by Deadline,
“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.”
For those that have not seen the film,
Another Round revolves around four teacher pals in midlife crisis who decide to experiment with raising their blood alcohol levels as a way to make life more interesting. While they initially are exacting about their levels, things progressively get out of hand for some of them. The film takes a European look at the consumption of alcohol that makes an English-language remake intriguing. Alcohol is not the evil element, it’s more about the choices made by the characters, what it does to them and their families and how to turn things around.
