Was this remake? Anyone know?

Don't think so. In the special features, Pollack says he started without a script, though he doesn't like to do that. They probably would have had a script already if it were a remake, eh?

That's an interesting question to me because I remember thinking after I saw The Interpreter that there was an earlier film with a number of similarities. Pretty sure it was not a major release; I couldn't recall it then and I can't now, but the fact that you raise the question makes me feel more certain there is such a film.
