Juan Jose Campanella’s Oscar-winning 2010 film ‘El secreto de sus ojos‘ is getting the Hollywood remake treatment but, saying that, with a darn impressive cast being lined up.
Written and directed by Billy Ray, the man behind the screenplay for CAPTAIN PHILLIPS, STATE OF PLAY and THE HUNGER GAMES, has already confirmed Gwyneth Paltrow and Chiwetel Ejiofor and is now in negotiations with Julia Roberts to come on-board.
Roberts is still at the highest peak for an actor and so can definitely pick and choose the best parts, so if everything goes according to plan this could be one hell of a scoop for THE SECRET IN THEIR EYES. The film has this official synopsis:
A retired legal counsellor writes a novel hoping to find closure for one of his past unresolved homicide cases and for his unreciprocated love with his superior – both of which still haunt him decades later.
The Argentinian thriller received a whole host of praise and so we’ll actually looking forward to this remake, which will surely have that slicker edge. There’s no release date at the moment for THE SECRET IN THEIR EYES but we’d assume it’s looking towards 2016 at this stage.
