Two-time Academy Award nominee Naomi Watts is set to star in Amazon's English-language remake of the Austrian psychological thriller "Goodnight Mommy" directed by Severin Fiala and Veronika Franz. The remake will be directed by Matt Sobel ("Take Me to the River") from a script by Kyle Warren.
The story follows twin brothers who, when sent to stay with their mother, are surprised to find her swathed in bandages from a recent procedure. As her behavior grows increasingly erratic and unusual, the twins become convinced she is an imposter. Their suspicion sets off a roller-coaster of emotional mind games and misunderstandings between mother and her children, that eventually explodes with irreparable and heartbreaking consequences.
The remake rights were acquired by Playtime and the project was developed with Animal Kingdom. Amazon Studios will be financing and releasing worldwide. Watts will also executive produce the film alongside the original film's directors Fiala and Franz.
Watts is currently filming the thriller "Infinite Storm", and she is also set to star in Phillip Noyce's "Lakewood".
