Naomi Watts to Star in Remake of Cult Psychological Thriller GOODNIGHT MOMMY at Amazon
Naomi Watts has signed on to star in the English-language remake of the psychological thriller Goodnight Mommy at Amazon Studios. The film was originally made in Austria in 2014 and was selected as the Austrian entry for best foreign language film at the Academy Awards. Matt Sobel (Take Me To The River) is directing from a script by Kyle Warren. Watts is executive producing along with the original film’s directors Severin Fiala and Veronika Franz.
“Goodnight Mommy follows twin brothers who, when sent to stay with their mother, are surprised to find her swathed in bandages from a recent procedure. As her behavior grows increasingly erratic and unusual, the twins become convinced she is an imposter. Their suspicion sets off a roller-coaster of emotional mind games and misunderstandings between mother and her children, that eventually explodes with irreparable and heartbreaking consequences.”
This sounds intense. It will be interesting to see how this thriller plays out. Have you seen the original film? Are you looking forward to the adaptation?
