La Doppia Ora is getting a remake! And what definitely sounds great at this moment is that
Michelle Williams is reportedly in some serious talks to star as the female lead! So, what can I tell you guys, you better get ready for
The Double Hour movie, 'cause Fox Searchlight is apparently quite serious about the whole thing &
The Forgiveness of Blood helmer
Joshua Marston is already on board to direct the remake!
Marston will direct
The Double Hour from his own script, which will, according to
the latest reports, center on an ex-cop and a hotel maid who fall in love after meeting at a speed-dating event. After they retreat to the ex-cop's employer's house for a romantic evening, they are ambushed by a gang that the maid later appears to be involved with.
At least that's what the original movie was all about. In case you're not so familiar with
La Doppia Ora, the movie was directed by
Giuseppe Capotondi and starred
Ksenia Rappoport and
Filippo Timi.
It premiered at the Venice Film Festival, and Rappoport even won
Volpi Cup, or if you prefer – the best actress award in Venice for the whole thing.
Anyway, it looks that
The Double Hour definitely has a lot of potential, especially now when Williams is rumored to join the whole thing.
As usual, we'll keep an eye on the remake, so make sure you stay tuned for more updates!
