Variety reports that Amazon Studios will be producing an English-language remake of the the 2014 Austrian indie horror-thriller Goodnight Mommy, with none other than Naomi Watts (King Kong) in the lead role! This would be the second English-language horror film Watts starred in, after 2002's The Ring, based on the successful 1998 Japanese horror flick Ringu.
Anyway, here's the official synopsis for Goodnight Mommy:
Elias and his twin brother Lukas arrive at their mother’s house to find her face covered in bandages − the result, she explains, of recent cosmetic surgery. Lukas delights in their mother’s uncharacteristically lax house rules, but in Elias’ mind, a dreadful thought takes root: the sinking suspicion that this woman beneath the gauze, who’s making their food and sleeping in the next room, isn’t really their mother.
Meanwhile, no official release or start date as of yet, but we'll keep you updated!
So what do you guys think? Fans of the original horror film? If so, looking forward to the remake? Either way, sound off below!
