Stake Land's Jim Mickle To Remake The Foreign Film 'We Are What We Are'

Looks like another foreign film is being lined up to receive a face lift here in the good ole USA and it comes to us at the hands of Stake Land director Jim Mickle

According to Screen Daily, Mickle will soon be "nking his teeth" into a remake which involves the cult cannibal film We What We Are.



Mickle will transpose Mexican director Jorge Michel Grau’s picture about a family of cannibals from its original setting of Mexico City to a poor part of the Catskills region in New York state. Principal photography starts in June.

"It's a cool challenge to do justice to Jorge’s story but also explore things from an unexpected angle," said Mickle, who is writing the script with Nick Damici.

Andrew Corkin of New York-based Uncorked Productions (Martha Marcy May Marlene, Afterschool) and Bolivian director/producer Rodrigo Bellott (Sexual Dependency) are producing alongde MFI’s Nicholas Shumaker and Linda Moran and Rene Bastian of Belladonna Productions, who produced Mickle’s first two films.
