Tell Everyone: French Hit Based on U.S. Thriller to Become Hollywood Flick

April 30, 2009

Tell No One DVDIn a plot twist as convoluted as a Harlan Coben novel, Variety reports that Miramax and Focus Features have snagged English-language remake rights to the French thriller Tell No One, which is based on Coben's acclaimed 2001 book. (Coben makes a brief cameo in the movie.)  The film, which swept top awards at the 2008 Cesars (the French equivalent of the Oscars), was a surprise hit with American audiences and grossed $6 million. Given Hollywood's poor track record with remakes, I strongly recommend you instead watch this suspenseful tale of a widowed doctor who discovers his wife may still be alive. By the way, director Guilliaume Canet  is nominated for an Edgar Award for Best Motion Picture Screenplay. The Edgar winners will be announced tonight at a gala banquet at Manhattan's Grand Hyatt hotel.
