The film "Others" with Nicole Kidman in the lead role, filmed by the director Alejandro Amenabar on his own scenario in 2001, instantly became cult. He collected 210 million dollars at a budget of 17 million and received eight Awards "Goya", the Spanish analogue of the American Oscar.
According to DeadLine, Smentient Entertainment, based in Los Angeles, has received the rights to shoot a remake. There were no announcements yet, who will enter the film crew, but the project caused considerable interest from eminent actors and major studios.
The company's plan is to combine the plot line of the initial picture with modernity. According to the producer Rena Tab, there is a "strange" similarity of the plot of the film and the reality of our days related to the coronavirus pandemic. She said:
It is very terribly and strange how relevant the film raised by the film is now: self-insulation, paranoia, fear and, of course, a strong desire to protect their children. We do not wait to solve the secrets of the main character of the flight, whose pain makes the audience sympathize with her throughout the film.
