One of our the most overlooked films last year was Alice Winocour‘s home-invasion thriller Disorder, starring Diane Kruger and Matthias Schoenaerts. As shot by Georges Lechaptois, his claustrophobic vision tracks Schoenarts’ physicality with a unnerving touch as the threat of terror creeps around every frame. We’ve known for some time a remake was in the works scripted by Taylor Sheridan (Hell or High Water, Sicario, Wind River), and now it’s found a director.
According to Deadline, Logan director James Mangold is now attached to helm the remake at Sony and it’s planned to be his next film. As for what differences to expect from the original, the trade reports Sheridan “changed the soldier’s affliction, added a romance, set the whole thing in Majorca and created a potential franchise character.” While that last aspect is a bit troubling, Mangold does have experience in creating worthwhile remakes after 3:10 to Yuma, so hopefully this follows a similar path. Expect news on casting soon as production is aiming to kick off this year.
In the meantime, we highly recommend streaming the original on Netflix and one can see the trailer below.
