Deadline

 

After working together on the combined half billion-plus grossing hits, Split and Glass, James McAvoy and Blumhouse are reteaming for a remake of Danish thriller, Speak No Evil. James Watkins (The Woman in Black) will direct from his script. Universal has set a theatrical release of Aug. 9, 2024.

 

In the original 2022 movie, a Danish family visits a Dutch family they met on a holiday. What was supposed to be an idyllic weekend slowly starts unraveling as the Danes try to stay polite in the face of unpleasantness. Pic is based on the screenplay by Christian Tafdrup and Mads Tafdrup.

Haven’t seen the original, so I just flicked through the trailer. Get the feeling that it’s best watched not knowing much.

This trilogy took a long time to complete for sure. 30 years from the first movie to the last

Well, the trailer already revealed major twists, terrible marketing. And it looks like they will ruin the ending because Hollywood .

Also the original was a wild  mix of  satirical social commentary and very uncomfortable thriller and here it's....just another running-around-from-psychos horror

Oh wow. Hope it's good. Need a hit for my boy James McAvoy.

 

I lowkey think he has some draw power, or certainly has led some big hits. I don't really understand how his career kinda stagnated over the last 15 years

Eh, becoming a king of genre fare is a pretty respectable career path. Not exactly getting nominated for awards but also much better than appearing in DTV schlock.
