Focus Features is now working on a remake of the 1999 Japanese horror-thriller film “Audition,” which was originally adapted from Ryū Murakami’s 1997 novel with the same title. As of now, there are no confirmed actors for this project and no specific release date has been set.
Who is involved in the Audition remake?
After the acclaimed success of Speak No Evil, director Christian Tafdrup has agreed to direct the English adaptation of Audition. He’s not only taking on the role of director but is also co-writing the script with his brother Mads Tafdrup. This new project marks Christian Tafdrup’s latest venture into English filmmaking following Speak No Evil (2022), which starred James McAvoy and garnered an impressive 83% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Currently, the Danish filmmaker is also set to direct Sebastian Stan and Lily James in the horror-thriller Let the Evil Go West.
The remake will be overseen by Ashok Amritraj, Priya Amritraj, and Mario Kassar as producers. Murakami, Chris McGurk, Yolanda Macias, and Joyce Jun serve in an executive production role. In addition to Focus Features, the project is a collaboration between Hyde Park Entertainment, Mario Kassar Productions, and Cineverse.
In a different take, the movie revolves around a man who’s lost his spouse, who devises a ruse for an acting audition to find his new wife. He’s immediately drawn to a promising young actress with dreams of dancing ballet. As time goes by, he unearths her troubled and complex history, which leads him into a tumultuous relationship with a woman who’s mentally fragile and unpredictable. The 1999 version was masterfully directed by Takashi Miike, who was nominated for the Palme d’Or at Cannes. It featured Ryo Ishibashi from The Grudge, Eihi Shiina from Tokyo Gore Police, and Jun Kunimura from The Wailing in its cast.
