The script for the remake will be written by Peaky Blinders Creator Stefano Cavalierewho also recently signed up to write to Star Wars film for Lucasfilm.
The film is a fan favorite of Hitchcock and the story centers on former police detective John “Scottie” Ferguson, who suffers from an intense fear of heights and is hired by an old college friend to follow his wife , Madeleine, who appears to be acting strangely. As Scottie investigates, he becomes increasingly obsessed with Madeleine.
After Madeleine appears to commit suicide, John meets Judy, a woman who bears a striking resemblance to Madeleine. He becomes convinced that she is Madeleine and is consumed with his desire to mold Judy into Madeleine, leading to a tragic ending.
With the talent involved in this film project, it will be interesting to see how it pans out. Do you think they can tell this story better than Hitchcock? I guess we’ll find out!
Downey Jr. hasn’t done much acting-wise since he played Iron Man Christopher Nolan’S Oppenheimerbut it will be nice to see him take the lead again in a film.
