I wouldn't be surprised if The Upside ends up being picked up by Lionsgate or another studio

Watched the original a while ago and enjoyed it very much.

Not sure how anyone can hate it but anyways...

Omar Sy really should be in everything.

Was reminded of this movie's existence on WhatsApp. Guess this is never coming out. Based on the reviews on RT, that might be for the best

I didn't even know they actually made this. 

[MCKillswitch123]

Maybe it'll surface on Netflix one day.

[AJG]

Didn’t they shoot this 3 or 4 years ago?

It's a race between this, The Current War, and Polaroid as to which of Weinstein's final movies will finally see the light of release first (if any of them do).

EXCLUSIVE: The most prominent of the Weinstein Co. leftover titles The Upside is landing with STX Entertainment, who is partnering with Lantern Entertainment to handle worldwide distribution on Neil Burger’s remake of the French hit The Intouchables. We heard that others were circling to distribute this title, including Aviron, with some majors expressing interest, but word is that STX always had the inside track with this movie. The Upside is the first of the frozen TWC films to make its way into circulation. The announcement was made today by STXfilms Chairman Adam Fogelson, along with Andy Mitchell from Lantern Entertainment.

Good. STX needed something becausetheir slate is super light

I'm still surprised Universal or Focus never picked up Mary Magdalene given Universal had OS rights.

Looks fine but I suspect it won't be as good as the original. Good to see Kevin Hart in a film where he's toned down his mannerism. 

[EliasChristensen]

I am a little surprised right now.

 

When they announced this remake I tought it would be the most unneccessary remake in the world. 

 

But the trailer is great, charming, appealing. I think I'll give it a try.

 

In Germany the original was huge. I mean HUGE. It had around 10 million people in theatres. For our country this is like 600+ million in the US.

Nicole Kidman makes every character likable. What a real movie star.

[JB33]

Not much talk about this one. Anyone going to see it?
