The post Morgan Freeman And Laurence Fishburne To Star As Father And Son In English-Language Remake Of ‘The Little Bedroom’ appeared first on Shadow And Act.

The film will be shopped at the upcoming European Film Market in Berlin. Along with Vega Film, who made the original, Gary Foster and Russ Krasnoff will produce under the Krasnoff/Foster Entertainment label.

According to The Hollywood Reporter:

The Little Bedroom follows John, whose heart has weakened with age, but still beats with a stubborn independence. He refuses to entertain his son Michael’s plan of settling him in a retirement home, nor will he accept help from Rose, his home nurse. But after a bad fall, John is finally forced to rely on Rose – whose broken heart needs care and healing just as much as his. As a friendship is forged, they help each other find the strength and peace to move on. 

With the addition of the project’s outstanding leads, Foster has very high expectations, as stated in a formal statement:

“I am very excited to be working with Stéphanie and Véronique on The Little Bedroom,” he said. “They are talented filmmakers who bring not only a bold cinematic vision to their films but a deep understanding of character. Working with world class actors: Morgan, Kate and Laurence, I am excited about the special film they will make.”

Tár‘s Nina Hoss appeared in Chuat and Reymond’s most recent movie, My Little Sister, which had its world debut in competition at both the 2020 Berlin International Film Festival and the 2021 Locarno Film Festival.
