Another Round is in the works after Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Davisson’s Appian Way, Endeavor Content, and Brad Weston’s Makeready all acquired the rights to the film.
Now, in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the star of the Danish coming-of-middle-age dramatic comedy, Mads Mikkelsen, offered his thoughts on the upcoming remake – which is set to be produced and star DiCaprio.
“It’s always tricky to make a remake but on the other hand, I understand why. Because even though a lot of people might watch [the original], it’s not that big. Having said that I have a hunch that a lot of Americans [have] watched this one. So it’s going to be interesting, the remake. There are some cultural differences with alcohol from nation to nation, especially between Denmark and America. Everyone’s always like, won’t they approach it really differently in America? Maybe. Maybe not. I mean the film is about embracing life and re-finding your life. I think if they get that right, they can have some freedom with the alcohol.”
