Brian De Palma To Direct PASSION

Brian De Palma is set to direct Passion which is a remake of the 2010 French film Crime d'amour.

The late Alan Corneau directed the original film, which was his last, starred Kristin Scott Thomas as an executive mentoring a young ingénue (Ludivine Saginer). They soon become cutthroat rivals.

Passion's setting is expected to be moved to England, but much of the production is expected to take place in Germany starting this August.

I did not see the original film, but am a fan of De Palma's work so this could be pretty cool. What are your thoughts of this news?
