An English-language remake of the award-winning
Another Round is coming sooner than expected. Deadline reports that Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Davisson’s Appian Way, Endeavor Content, and Brad Weston’s Makeready have all acquired the rights to the film, with DiCaprio set to star.
Thomas Vinterberg’s
Another Round is fresh off an Oscar win, taking home the Academy Award for Best International Film. The rights to the film were reportedly sought after for quite some time, with everyone from Studiocanal to Elizabeth Banks throwing their names into the fight.
Deadline notes that original director Thomas Vinterberg narrowed the choice when Leonardo DiCaprio approached as this was a “chance to see DiCaprio in a new role, the vulnerable middle-aged man in existential crisis played by Mads Mikkelsen.”

Will win: Nomadland
Chloe Zhaoâs portrait of van-dwelling nomads is all but guaranteed to take the top prize at the ceremony. Deeply empathetic, the film never glamorizes or pities its vagabonds, and the blend of high-caliber actors in Frances McDormand and David Strathairn with real-life drifters creates a fantasia of fable and documentary. It s an easy film to admire, as evidenced by the shower of precursor awards it has received, including a Golden Globe and Producers Guild of America Award.
Should win: Minari
âMinariâ is a paradox. What is on the surface a small-scale and meandering film about a family of South Korean immigrants who move to a farm in rural Arkansas, is actually the most awe-inspiring of the bunch. Strong writing, sensitive direction and subtle performances help take this movie over the top, but the soul of this narrative is unidentifiable; something about it seduces you from the moment it starts and the feeling sticks far after the credits roll.
