The French Crime Thriller A PROPHET Will Be Remade

A remake of the 2010 French crime thriller A Prophet was sure to be done. It was just too good for Hollywood to ignore. Sony Pictures has teamed up with Fast and Furious 6 producer Neil Moritz to remake the film. If you haven't seen the original film yet, I strongly suggest you check it out. 

The movie doesn't really need a remake, but maybe it will get people to watch the original film directed by Jacques Audiard. The story follows a young man’s rise to the top of a crime syndicate after being mentored by the boss.

Moritz talked about the film, describing it as "an epic crime saga with compelling characters and original storytelling." He went on to say, "I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to make an English-language version of the film and am grateful to have the trust of Jacques Audiard and his producers, as well as the writers Thomas Bidegain, Nicolas Peufaillit, and Abdel Raouf Dafri."

Hopefully they put together a good team of filmmakers for the movie that will do the story justice.
