Up-and-coming director Jaume Collet-Serra has signed on to replace the departing John Hillcoat as director of the remake of the 1970s French film THE RED CIRCLE. The project, which tells the tale of a cool aristocratic thief and an escaped murderer joining forces in a jewel heist, which they must contend with a wily police superintendent determined to catch the duo, is set to be produced by Working Title Films.
Collet-Serra has been very busy as of late, with his project “Unknown” opening in theaters this weekend, he’s been busy booking film & TV directing roles on almost a weekly basis since the start of the new year, with him being in contention for the “G.I. Joe Sequel,” as well as signing on for the spec sold a few weeks ago in “Harker” and the ABC sci-fi pilot “The River”
Collet-Serra is repped by CAA and Circle of Confusion.
