The
Oscar-winning
film
Another
Round
reportedly
will
be
remade
in
the
English
language.
The
Danish
film
starring
Mads
Mikkelsen,
won
the
Best
International
Feature
Film
Oscar
on
Sunday
(April
25).
According
to
reports,
the
rights
to
the
Danish
film
have
been
acquired
by
Leonardo
DiCaprio
and
Jennifer
Davisson's
Appian
Way,
Endeavor
Content,
and
Brad
Weston's
Makeready.
While
the
original
is
directed
by
Thomas
Vinterberg,
it
is
unclear
if
he
will
be
returning
to
direct
the
English
remake.
A
Deadline
report
revealed
Vinterberg
had
expressed
his
interest
in
the
idea
of
DiCaprio
taking
on
the
role
of
schoolteacher
Martin
played
by
Mads
Mikkelsen.
The
conversation
then
paved
the
way
for
the
deal.
However,
Leonardo
DiCaprio
is
yet
to
confirm
his
role
in
the
film.
The
film
follows
four
middle-aged
friends
who
have
lost
interest
in
their
teaching
job.
One
day,
they
decide
to
experiment
with
drinking
during
the
day
to
see
how
it
affects
their
social
and
professional
lives.
Mikkelsen
played
a
history
teacher
in
the
movie.
The
film
has
also
been
in
the
news
for
the
director's
heartbreaking
Oscar-winning
speech.
On
Sunday,
Vinterberg
dedicated
the
film
to
his
19-year-old
daughter
Ida,
who
died
in
a
car
accident
just
days
into
the
filming.
He
said,
"We
wanted
to
make
a
film
that
celebrates
life.
Four
days
into
shooting
the
impossible
happens:
an
accident
on
a
highway
took
my
daughter
away.
We
miss
her
and
I
love
her".
He
also
revealed
that
Ida
was
excited
about
the
film
when
she
had
read
the
script
"Ida,
this
is
a
miracle
that
just
happened,
and
you're
a
part
of
this
miracle.
Maybe
you've
been
pulling
some
strings
somewhere.
This
one's
for
you," he
concluded.
Apart
from
the
recent
Oscar
win,
Another
Round
has
been
received
critical
acclaim
internationally
after
its
world
premiere
at
the
Toronto
International
Film
Festival
in
September
2020.
The
film
has
also
received
several
honours
throughout
the
award
season
including
BAFTA
for
the
Best
film
not
in
the
English
Language.
Another
Round
also
stars
Thomas
Bo
Larsen,
Lars
Ranthe,
Magnus
Millang,
Maria
Bonnevie
and
Susse
Wold.
