Neil Burger has signed on to direct The Weinstein Company’s remake of French hit “The Intouchables”.

Bryan Cranston and Kevin Hart are starring in the film which will begin production on January 15 most likely in New York, reports Deadline.

Jon Hartmere penned the script which is said to put a fresh take on the original concept which centred on an aristocrat who, after becoming a quadriplegic from a paragliding accident, hires a young man from the projects to be his caregiver.
