Update: Sorry, folks, turns out this is just a rumor and in no way true. Vigalondo’s people informed us that Vigalondo isn’t even aware about any director being attached to the remake, much less that he said Cronenberg was interested in it. Again, apologies.
Director David Cronenberg has really been at the top of his game in the last few years and, according to what the good folks at “Twitch Film” have uncovered, that ain’t stopping anytime soon now that he’s looking to do a remake of the Spanish language time bender LOS CRONOCRÍMENES aka TIME CRIMES. The film’s director Nacho Vigalondo apparently revealed that the cult auteur is currently in talks to tackle a remake, though nobody’s signed anything quite just yet. In the film, a man travels an hour back in time and unravels a complex web of mystery that includes a naked girl in the middle of the forest and the right-pictued pink-bandaged psychopath. Sounds like Cronenberg could absolutely direct the shit ouf of this.
