“The Farewell” director Lulu Wang will helm an English-language remake of Hirokazu Kore-eda’s celebrated 2013 Japanese film “Like Father, Like Son” for Focus Features.
The Palme d’Or-nominated original follows a successful businessman who learns that his biological son was switched with another child at birth.
Unable to relinquish the son he’s come to love and simultaneously aghast at how his biological son is being raised, he must make a life-impacting decision for his children.
Accomplished playwright Sarah Ruhl will pen the screenplay and Wang will produce alongside Josh McLaughlin.
