THEM to get American remake

I know many of you may be thinking enough already with the American remakes of foreign films. French horror thriller Them is set to be remade for American audiences. Variety reports that Spanish commercial director David Alcalde is set to take the helm. 

The original film was written and directed by French helmers David Moreau and Xavier Palud in 2006. The story focuses on "a young couple who are terrorized in their secluded country home." StudioCanal and Nostromo Pictures are producing the remake. They recently brought us Rodrigo Cortes' Buried and are behind the upcoming thriller Red Lights, with Robert De Niro and Sigourney Weaver.

Alcade is a respected commercial director in both Spain and Mexico, having directed more than 200 commercials. He also directed the short film Happy Birthday to You, which won Screamfest in 2006 and was well received at the San Sebastian and Slamdance Film Festivals. 

Check out the trailer to the 2006 film below to get an idea of it's look and feel:
