The Iranian horror film Under the Shadow is going to get an English-language remake, even though it just made its debut appearance earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival (check out our review). The London-based Wigwam Films and XYZ Films, who are handling the North American sales for the film, have announced that they are collaborating on this remake, according to Deadline. The film is directed by Babak Anvari.
Under the Shadow is, “…set in 1988 Iran, during the bloodshed of the Iran-Iraq War. Shideh and her daughter Dorsa start to believe their family home is haunted by “djinn” — evil spirits that are trying to steal their most prized belongings, including a treasured cloth doll.”
Anvari will be acting as the executive producer of the remake, which as yet has not writer or director.
