Director Gela Babluani will remake his Sundance grand jury prize-winning French thriller "13 (Tzameti)" in English for the Morabito Picture Co. reports Reuters.
The psychological thriller follows a naive young man who stumbles across instructions meant to be used by a dead gangster. His curiosity leads him to a clandestine world where men gamble behind closed doors with the lives of other men.
The French film will receive a domestic platform release in the fall by Palm Pictures. "13 (Tzameti)" won the world cinema grand jury prize for best dramatic feature at January's Sundance Film Festival and the De Laurentiis Award for best first film at September's Venice International Film Festival.
