David Cronenberg Remaking Time Crimes?

Tiem Crimes

Time Crimes director Nacho Vigalondo revealed that David Cronenberg is in the running to direct the upcoming English language remake of the popular Fantastic Fest award winner. The original Spanish-language indie sci-fi thriller followed a man who accidentally gets into a time machine and travels back in time nearly an hour, and finds himself in a series of disasters of unforeseeable consequences. Cronenberg’s take on the story would no doubt be much different, and certainly a lot more interesting than your typical American horror remake. Timothy J. Sexton, one of the writers of Children of Men, is writing the English language adaptation. Check out the teaser trailer for the original film below. [Twitch]

    I still get dissapointed thinking about what he could have done with Total Recall. His version would have been nuts, I'm sure.

    This film "Time Crimes" sounds interesting. I look forward to seeing what he does with it.

    Cronenberg is one of the many great gifts Canada has given the world.

    @ jonny

    Agreed. He's made some unforgettable movies with even more unforgettable scenes. The exploding head scene in Scanners is still as vivid in my head today as the day I saw it.
  • I hope you all -I can't read subtitles because we're lazy so let's make a remake- americans fuckin choke.
    Seriously.
    I hate you all.
    Thanks for reading.

    Sorry to inform everybody but Nacho Vigalondo (the director from the original) only said this :
    "Mira, si se confirma el rumor ese de que la va a hacer Cronenberg, me retiro."
    Translated ->
    Look, If it is confirmed that Cronenberg is going to direct the remake turns true, I retire
    He was talking about a rumor, maybe trying to hint something while saying this, but only a rumor.
    Sorry for my lousy english
