In a twist worthy of its title, Christopher Nolan‘s “Memento” is being remade by independent AMBI Pictures, which acquired the remake rights from Exclusive Media Group in September, the company announced Monday.
A representative for AMBI Pictures could not tell TheWrap whether AMBI Pictures had received Nolan’s blessing, and the director’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. However, an insider told TheWrap that AMBI Pictures did reach out to Nolan, but they never heard back from him.
Though AMBI Pictures does control the remake rights, it’s unlikely the company would move forward without the consent of Nolan, who is one of the most powerful people in Hollywood.
