The Orphange will get hollywood remake

The Orphange is getting great buzz at the Toronto International Film Festival. The movie from Spanish filmaker Juan Antonio Bayona and produced by Guillermo del Toro is said to be the best ghost story cinema has seen in years, with critics comparing it to The Others in tone and Pan's Labyrinth in quality. The movie revolves around a women who returns to the orphanage where she grew up to help handicapped children by opening up a new home for them. When her son makes an invisible friend, bad things begin to happen and it turns out the friend is the same person who terrorized women when she was a child. The Hollywood Reporter say an English language remake has been greenlit by New Line Cinema with Del Toro again on board as a producer and possibly Bayona directing the same material again for this Hollywood version, though the trade hint New Line might find someone new. Maybe Bayona doesn't like the idea of shooting the same film twice and really can we blame him? If this horror movie is suppose to be so good then why do we need an English language remake? Why don't they just release the movie nationwide as it is and let audiences read the frikkin' subtitles instead of giving it a limited run at the end of the year?. This is like imagining Pan's Labyrinth being remade once again so English speaking people wouldn't have to read subtitles. We all know the answer of course. MONEY. The Others, an English language horror movie from director Alejandro Amenabar which this movie has great similarities with grossed over $200 million worldwide with the help of Nicole Kidman. If New Line cast someone of her stature and hire a talented director then I see no reason why this movie can't do the same type of number. Remember Pan's Labyrinth only made $80 million worldwide. A great total for a foreign language movie yes but there is a glass ceiling which subtitle movies can't overcome which means that deals like will continue to be made. Whether we like it or not.
