Exclusive: Swedish director working with Breaking Bad producer Mark Johnson.
Andreas Ohman, the Swedish writer/director of 2010 Oscar-shortlisted drama Simple Simon, is attached to direct a Us remake of the film.
A Us writer is now being confirmed for the project, and Ohman will travel to Los Angeles this autumn to start collaborating on the film, which is expected to shoot in 2016.
Mark Johnson (Breaking Bad) is producing.
The original comedy, Simple Simon, is about an 18-year-old with Asperger’s syndrome who tries to play matchmaker for his brother.
“I’m very confident with the story and feel like I’ve personally developed so much since I was 24 (and shot the first film),” said Ohman.
“It’s similar, but it’s a new take. Doing it in another language also helps to make it different… it also feels like my next step should be an international movie.”
