American remake confirmed


As it is now, Erik Van Looy himself will direct the Hollywood remake.

Both Patrick Wilson and James Marsden are available in April-May to shoot the film.

Sounds good for a remake, doesn't it?

Philip Seymour Hoffman would be perfect in the role of Luc.


Hopefully they change a bit, since a lot of the enjoyment of this film is the "whodunit" factor, and knowing the outcome changes so much of how engrossed you are in the story.

"The Loft" will start filming at 930 Poydras in New Orleans on 15 June 2011.

Awesome!

Why the need for yet another American re-make? This film is pretty near perfect; it doesn't need another version.

Americans can't read. They can't watch movies with subtitles.

Because it will reach more people and make more money, nothing wrong with that.
