Columbia Pictures has hired Brian Nelson (“Hard Candy”) to write “Taped,” a remake of the Dutch thriller of the same name for “Lawless” producers Red Wagon, a representative for Red Wagon told TheWrap on Monday.
The studio acquired the rights to the film in February, shortly after it opened in the Netherlands. Red Wagon’s Lucy Fisher and Douglas Wick (pictured) are producing the remake. Rachel Shane is overseeing the production of "Taped." NL Films, the producers of the original feature, are serving as executive producers.
The story follows a couple that videotapes a murder by a bad cop while they are on holiday in Argentina.
