Variety reports that the Boys Don’t Cry director will remake the French thriller With a Friend Like Harry (Harry, un ami qui vous veut du bien).
The original film starred Laurent Lucas and Mathilde Seigner as a Michel and Claire, a couple traveling with three children who come across another couple, Harry and Plum (Sergi Lopez and Sophie Guillemin). At first they are fast friends, but as they grow closer Harry and Plum’s motives become more and more ominous.
Directed by Dominick Moll, the original film was nominated for the Cannes Film Festival’s prestigious Palme d’Or in 2000.
