Now this is an interesting bit of news. Kathleen Kennedy joining up with Miramax and Focus Features International to produce the  English language remake to Gallic thriller Tell No One.

I love the movie’s  story and have been following its success.  Interestingly, even though it is a French film, the movie is the first film adaptation from prolific American novelist Harlan Coben.

The plot reminds of a Hitchcock storyline. A doctor grieving for his dead wife, after eight years is finally able to put it all behind him, then discovers she may still be alive.  The discovery comes via an email and video of his wife very much alive.  The doctor receives a threat that he and his wife are being watched.  The doctor is then suspected of murder, hooks up with a female defense attorney and together they go on the run to discover the truth.

Variety reports that the French film was a surprise hit last year in the U.S. with grosses topping $6 million and grossed $22 million in France and $2.3 million in the U.K.
