“The Others,” set in 1945 in a remote country house on the British island of Jersey, centered on Kidman’s character, Grace Stewart, discovering unknown “others” living in her home. One of her children says she has seen a group of people in the house several times — a man, a woman, an old woman and a child named Victor — who claimed “the house is theirs.”

“The Others” was a box office hit, grossing more than $200 million on a $17 million budget. The film won seven of Spain’s Goya Awards, including best film and best director for Amenabar.optioned the rights to “The Others” from Sentient Entertainment, which acquired control of the rights in a heated bidding war in April from FilmSharks-owned The Remake Co. and Video Mercury. Sentient made the deal with FilmSharks CEO Guido Rud and Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo’s Video Mercury.

Sentient’s Renee Tab and Christopher Tuffin will produce alongside Aliwen Entertainment’s Lucas Akoskin. Cerezo will executive produce with Rud, and Miller Way’s Michael and Jeeny Miller. Sentient’s current slate includes the feature “Losing Clementine” starring Jessica Chastain and Edgar Ramirez, thriller “Alphas” with Sam Worthington, and “Taken” director Pierre Morel’s untitled Netflix thriller. Senior vice president of production Sara Scott will oversee the project on behalf of Universal.

What if we don't want a remake?

Hollywood, please stop. Signed cinema lovers.

How many others of The Others are there?

Why? I didn’t even see the first one. (Because I was scared af of the old lady/daughter)

Woah, another unnecessary, useless remake! Hollywood, I love when you run out of ideas. Can't wait for it!

Please don't

The Others poster can now double for Nicole’s reaction to reading those terrible “The Undoing” reviews. 😎

Her best film.. remake it with her

I’d say it’s Amenabar’s but... OK

UGH. Totally unnecessary. Why mess with perfection?

aemartinezm

What? That movie is not that old.

Is this based on a Henry James story?

was remade in india ... as HUM KAUN HAI (Who are we) 2004

Why?!?

tellsomeone2day Well that is very, very pointless.

What in the hell? Why?!?!?!

but why? the original was so good.

Whyyyyyy? Leave good movies like this alone please!!!!

Why?

I see absolutely no reason why TheOthers needs a remake. I find it quite sad that such a recent & well-made film would be remade while other deserving scripts languish in development hell.

Its been what, nearly 20 years? A well made film. A remake might do alright with a new generation of moviegoers who haven't seen the original. A tricky gamble.

It’s hers?

It’s a no from me.

What noo it's perfect as it is. Plus the twist wouldn't be a shock anymore!

iamidonquixote 😱

It doesn’t need one

Why?!

Boo. Ugh.

Hollywood! Where creativity knows no limits...want do you mean we don't have any original IPs that are worth producing? F it lets crank out another remake 🤣

There's really no need for a remake. 'The Others' is flawless.

I was going to say, 'so soon?' Then I realized it's almost been 20 years. And to anybody else reading this who loves the original: it still exists. Maybe this one could be good too.

AngstyBastard ummm

Ok I'll start this: BoycottTheOthersRemake

Why do we need another remake? The original is just fine.

The Other Others

Nooo

Noooo. Leave it alone. Plus we already know the plot.

NOOOOOOO WHATS THE POINT THO CAUSE WE ALREADY KNOWWWWWWWWWW

Why? It's perfect the way it is!! Oh god, don't ruin it! What is the point? Good Remakes are very few and far between.

Atrocious news.

Why ? No !

Stop it

Why?

WHY WHY WHY WHY

Sigh

I'll take WHYYYYYYYY OMG WHHYYYYYYYYYY for $100 Alex

Good movie, no need for a remake.

LP1280

smahal1 Nooooooo just leave it alone 🤦🏼‍♂️

::sigh:: just ... like ... why?

Why? We still remember the plot.

Amenabar is not from Chile, he is Spanish.

Another pointless remake that isn’t needed at all

Hollywood is bored at this point 😂

Boring. yetaanotherremake Give us original content!

This is dumb. The whole point of the movie was the surprise ending. So if you've seen it once, there's no surprise the second time around.

WHY?

We did not even need the original.
