Rachel McAdams and Noomi Rapace are set to star in Brian De Palma’s remake of Alain Corneau’s 2010 thriller Crime D’Amour. The De Palma version will be titled Passion and begins shooting in Berlin on March 5. France’s Said Ben Saïd is producing the France-Germany co-production via his SBS Productions. Integral Films is the German partner. Kristin Scott-Thomas and Ludivine Sagnier starred in the original film noir, about a power struggle between a ruthless executive and her protégé. The Passion story will follow the same lines, with De Palma adding his spin to a script he wrote. A major male role and a smaller female role have yet to be cast. Those will likely be played by Europeans, with deals expected to be firmed up in January. De Palma will shoot for 10 weeks with delivery expected at the end of the year. Ben Saïd’s SBS has international sales. McAdams and Rapace are repped by UTA and Magnolia Entertainment. De Palma is repped by ICM.

The remake artist at it again. this is the guy that basically did 2 remakes of Vertigo!
At least he’ll always have The Untouchables.
Considering that everyone and his mother has been eking out a living in Hollywood churning out remakes for the last decade, your comment is worthless
In the orgiginal, which just had an unfortunately brief theatrical run at our local arthouse as “Love Crime,” Kristin Scott-Thomas was the executive and Ludivine Sagnier was her protegree. Which of these actresses is taking which role for the remake?
What made the original French film so intriguing was the power dynamics between the older Kristin Scott Thomas and the younger Ludivine Sagnier. Having two actresses roughly the same age eliminates that unfortunately so I won’t be bothering with the remake and instead watch the original again. A shame that Brian De Palma’s career is churning out remakes when he could be doing original work instead. Femme Fatale was wildly under-rated as a film.
So that’s done, maybe having actresses of roughly the same age can add a twist?
McAdams may be 32 or whatever but, seriously, she looks 10 years older.
So I guess Rapace is gonna play the older executive?
I’m sure Noomi will be great in this role, but if all this movie does is bring more attention to the original film and the fantastic performances by Kristen and Ludivine I will be happy.
what about his Scarface? oh, I forgot. Paul Muni starred in the orginal.
I believe both actresses will fit the role well, noomi can be dressed down to appear the younger as well as rachel can be dressed up to…kristen and ludivine didnt appear to have such the age differnece more the mentality of difference in age i think it will be interesting
