Twitch has linked to a Spanish-language interview with Nacho Vigalondos, in which the Timecrimes director says David Cronenberg is in the running to direct the English-language remake of his time travel film–-that is, since Mario Bava is not available. Vigalondos also says Timothy J. Sexton, one of the writers of Children of Men, is writing the English language adaptation, and that if he were to have his dream cast, it would involve Joan Allen, Adam Brody, and either Bruce Willis or Kurt Russell. After the jump, you’ll find Babelfish’s translation of the relevant portion of the interview. Linguistics are funny! See also Kevin’s review of Timecrimes and interview with Nacho from Sundance.
What seems to you the election of Timothy J. Sexton like scriptwriter of remake American?
Here I am not a film director, nor anybody of the industry. I am fan as you can be. I assure to you that I am living all this with the emotion on a boy. Or with the one of a guest of “Surprise, Surprise” to which they let to him estechar the hand to his ídolos. Children of Men seemed to me one of the guessed right films more of the last times, so you can be imagined. On the other hand, the election of a scriptwriter as he makes shake thinking me about the dimension of the director. It is going to be a great film, and I cannot feel prouder.
What American actors you would like that they interpreted remake?
Kurt Russell or Bruce Willis of protagonist. The scientist, Adam Brody. The wife, Joan Allen and the girl… Since she repeats Barbarian No?
Since you have said the actors whom you would like to see in remake of your film, we go with the director.
Sight, if the rumor that that is confirmed it is going it to make Cronemberg, I retire to me. If my film meant its return to the science-fiction, I operate of pride and AIM. Another director who was very present in the running was the Brian de Palma of Body Doublé. You imagine? And if it could revive to deads, Mario Bava, by God. To Hitchcock nor I mention to him because it would give shame me.
