Any time I hear of a director doing a remake of his/her very own film that came out in the past decade I can only think 'double-dipping.' In the case of Funny Games, however, the remake's ensemble cast and updated setting should get Michael Haneke's troubling thriller the attention it deserves.
Funny Games Trailer
In this provocative and brutal thriller from director Michael Haneke, a vacationing family gets an unexpected visit from two deeply disturbed young men. Their idyllic holiday turns nightmarish as they are subjected to unimaginable terrors and struggle to stay alive.
Remade from his own acclaimed 1997 film, Funny Games is written and directed by Michael Haneke (Caché), and stars Naomi Watts, Tim Roth, Michael Pitt, Brady Corbet and Devon Gearhart.
The trailer for Funny Games is awesome. Not only does it have some fun with the music, but takes part in verb-dropping. I like it!
