Los Cronocrimenes (TimeCrimes to us gringos) is a mexican science fiction film which tells the tale of a man who gets caught up in a dangerous time loop when he tries to travel 30 minutes back in time to prevent a crime. The film has been a hit at festivals, and has been picked up by Magnolia pictures for United States distribution.
Given it's popularity, it is no surprise that a US remake is on it's way, with original director Nacho Vigalondo on board as producer, and Stephen Zallian tapped for scriptwriting duties.
Whilst this may seem like a run of the mill remake, Vigalondo has suggested that no less than David Cronenberg is in discussions to come aboard as director.
The themes of the film certainly seem a perfect fit for Cronenberg and will mark a return to sci-fi for the director following his more recent drama films. Suddenly this remake appears to be one to watch, although everyone should get a chance to catch the original if possible.
