Phillip Noyce is attached to direct Ambulance, Good Universe and Mythology Entertainment’s remake of the 2005 Danish thriller, says Heat Vision.
The original movie, titled Ambulancen, “told of two desperate brothers who attempt a robbery in order to pay for their dying mother’s health care. The job goes south and during their escape, they steal an ambulance. But things only get worse when they discover it’s occupied by a dying heart patient.”
The new iteration re-conceives it as a breathless crime thriller in the vein of Dog Day Afternoon and Heat set in downtown LA.
Mythology principals Brad Fischer, James Vanderbilt and William Sherak are producing the project, which has a script by Chris Fedak, the co-creator of cult television show “Chuck.”
