With Sam Raimi rumoured to be in talks to direct
According to IESB, Matt Damon is in talks to star in the American version of “Brothers”, a recent Danish film from director Susanne Bier.
Sam Raimi is believed to be the favourite to direct the remake.
“Brothers” tells the story of Michael, a chap who has everything under control: a successful military career, a beautiful wife and two daughters. His younger brother is a drifter, living on the edge of the law. When Michael is sent to Afghanistan on a UN mission the balance between the two brothers changes forever. Michael is missing in action – presumed dead – and his wife is comforted by the brother, who against all odds shows himself capable of taking responsibility for both himself and the family. It soon becomes clear that their feelings have developed beyond mutual sympathy. When Michael comes home, traumatized by being held prisoner in the mountains of Afghanistan, nothing is the same…
David Benioff (“Wolverine”) is writing the screenplay for Columbia/Relativity Media.
