Denke nicht

Released in a limited number of US cinemas following its Academy Awards nomination, 'Das Leben der Anderen' ('The Lives Of Others') apparently made a respectable profit.  However, winning the 'Best Foreign Language Film' Oscar clearly demanded further action.

No, not a wider release of the German film – that's too obvious, and obviously too much like hard work for the popcorn-munchers. It's to be remade in English; "overhauled as a Hollywood thriller", even.

Nein, danke. Vergessen Sie es.
