WAMG First Look at Funny Games US

Funny Games US is a remake of Funny Games originally released in Australia Austria (Thanks to one of our readers who pointed this out) in 1997. This remake is a little different because Michael Haneke who wrote and directed the original, also did the American Remake. The remake will star Naomi Watts, Tim Roth, and Michael Pitt. Here is the synopsis from IMDB.

“Two Disturbed Young Men Take A Husband , Wife And Child Hostage In A Lake House.The Young Men Play Sadistic Games With The Family To See Who Can Survive The Longest.”

From looking at pictures and trailer’s from the original film it seems alot like the movie Hostage with Bruce Willis, obviously the original came out in 1997 which is a few years prior to Hostage, but you get where i am going.

Honestly, Michael Pitt creeps me out..he has played some crazy roles. Most notably Justin in Murder By Numbers with Sandra Bullock. He is kinda typecast in a specific role, and this movie wont do much to fix that.

Release Date – February 15th 2008
