Norwegian Thriller Pioneer Getting The English Language Remake Treatment Via George Clooney
Norwegian conspiracy thriller Pioneer is the latest European hit to get the English language remake treatment, and THR reports George Clooney and producing partner Grant Heslov have come on board to produce it.
Sony, who just put out the duo's Monuments Men, is the studio behind the remake. The original is set in the 1980s amidst the oil boom in Norway, and followed a man getting in over his head as he investigates a mysterious and tragic accident that happened during a deep sea dive.
Erik Skjoldbjaerg directed the original film, which also featured an America-Norway partnership plot and starred both Norewegian and American actors like Aksel Henni, Wes Bentley and Stephen Lang, but it's unclear if the remake will be the same or the action will be moved over to the States completely.
