Goodnight Mommy is one of the best horror films of the 2010s and as all great foreign films seem to follow, Variety reports that Amazon Studios will be producing an English-language remake of the 2014 Austrian indie horror film with Naomi Watts (Mullholland Drive) in the lead role. This would be the second English-language horror film Watts starred in, after 2002’s The Ring, based on the 1998 Japanese horror film Ringu.
Here’s the official synopsis for Goodnight Mommy:
Elias and his twin brother Lukas arrive at their mother’s house to find her face covered in bandages − the result, she explains, of recent cosmetic surgery. Lukas delights in their mother’s uncharacteristically lax house rules, but in Elias’ mind, a dreadful thought takes root: the sinking suspicion that this woman beneath the gauze, who’s making their food and sleeping in the next room, isn’t really their mother.
No official release or start date as of yet for the remake.
