'Tell No One' remake set at Miramax

No, I still haven't seen Guillaume Canet's French thriller "Ne le dis à personne" (Tell No One), but I've heard great things about it, and I'll definitely try to watch it some time this summer. The film was a success in France and even delivered a solid box office run in the U.S., and according to Variety, Miramax and Focus Features are planning to develop an English language remake.

Apparently, the studios are eyeing a production start date of spring 2010. No director or cast is currently attached. Based on the novel by Harlan Coben, the French thriller followed a pediatrician who's spent several years grieving the death of his wife when he suddenly discovers she may still be alive. François Cluzet, Marie-Josée Croze, André Dussollier, Kristin Scott Thomas and François Berléand starred.

From what I've heard, "Tell No One" is a complex thriller with plenty of intriguing twists, and even though I still have to check it out, I somehow hope the Hollywood version won't alter the story line too much to make it more accessible to a larger audience. Knowing Hollywood, that's exactly what's going to happen, but then again, we do always have the original, right. Okay, now I really have to see this one.
