'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.

Harlan Coben’s ‘Innocent’ comes to big-screen

Plum Pictures has acquired the rights for the big-screen adaptation of Harlan Coben’s thriller “The Innocent,” according to Variety.

Coben also wrote “Tell No One,” which French actor-director Guillaume Canet turned into a successful big-screen mystery. I haven’t seen the film yet but I hear it’s quite compelling.

According to the trade, "The Innocent" centers on a middle-class New Jersey boy who goes to a prison after jumping into a drunken brawl to defend a friend and discovers when he gets out that he can’t get past his history.

Coben recently published “Hold Tight,” which quickly stormed the New York Times bestseller list.
