Secrets And Eyes

"Breach" and "Shattered Glass" (one of my favorite films in recent years) writer/director Billy Ray will remake the 2009 Argentinian thriller "The Secret in Their Eyes" says The Hollywood Reporter.

'Secret' (won the foreign language Oscar in March) follows a retired criminal investigator in 2000 Buenos Aires who is writing a novel to try and deal with an unresolved rape and murder from 1974 that still haunts him.

In the process, he re-encounters a female judge with whom he has a long, equally unresolved, history.

The new version will be set in present day United States.

Juan Jose Campanella directed and adapted the original pic from the book La pregunta de Sus Ojos by Eduardo Sacheri.

Mark Johnson ("Donnie Brasco") is producing the remake.
