You Have GOT To Be Kidding Me


Please tell me I pulled a Rip Van Winkle and slept a couple of months and today is April Fools Day. PLEASE!!! From DH:

"Brian Grazer will produce and Ron Howard may direct an American version of recent French thriller "Cache" (aka. "Hidden") for Universal Pictures and Imagine Entertainment.

Michael Haneke wrote and helmed the original, which starred Daniel Auteuil and Juliette Binoche, was released in the US around Xmas 2005 by Sony Classics.

The story follows the fracturing family of a TV show literary critic who receives increasingly disturbing videos in the mail of their personal lives being filmed surreptitiously.

The US remake is expected to beef up the suspense elements and consequences of the character's actions reports Variety."

Okay, first off, why does Cache even need a fucking remake? It's 1.5 years old, and fucking genius as is. Somebody answers "Ooh, people don't like to read subtitles," and I answer "Well fuck those kinds of people."

And secondly, I can't think of a less suitable director to approach this material then this ham-fisted mouth-breather. UGH. This, my friends, is infuriating.

Michael Haneke! Where are you? Do something! Make it all better! Tell me you'd never let this happen!!! Was this some sort of pact with the devil you had to make in order for your weird Funny Games remake to happen? Take it back, take it back!!!
