Gold Circle Films is developing a remake to Jannik Johansen and Anders Thomas Jensen’s Danish thriller Murke (Mørke), and Deadgirl directors Marcel Sermiento and Gadi Harel have reteamed for the project. This should be a great film to look forward to. Their previous project together, Deadgirl, just debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival this summer and fans are excited for more. Read the details from The Hollywood Reporter below.
Marcel Sarmiento and Gadi Harel are attached to write and direct a remake of the Danish thriller Murke/Mørke for Gold Circle Films.
Gold Circle president Paul Brooks will produce alongside Bridge Films president Matthew Riklin. Scott Niemeyer and Norm Waitt will executive produce.
Guy Danella and Brad Kessell will oversee the project for Gold Circle.
Mørke, released in 2005, details a journalist’s investigation into his sister’s mysterious death on her wedding night and the whereabouts of her missing fiance. Anders Thomas Jensen co-wrote the original film with Jannik Johansen, who also directed.
Sarmiento and Harel, repped by the Gotham Group, plan to add a high-tech twist to the update.
The pair’s debut film, Deadgirl, premiered in the Midnight Madness section of the Toronto International Film Festival in September and will be released next year by Dark Sky Films. The low-budget horror film scripted by Trent Haaga, about two high school buddies who find a (kind of) dead girl in the basement of an abandoned mental hospital, polarized audiences with its disturbing story line.
