limited Caché

With the remake of Funny Games hitting theaters ($520,000 in 289 theaters, for a not-great $1800 average), worth taking a moment to mention the other Michael Haneke remake project in the works. Caché was probably his biggest success to date, featuring Daniel Auteil and Juliette Binoche as a married couple who find a creepy videotape left on their doorstep.

After Caché (aka Hidden in the U.S.) made a splash in 2005 (Haneke won best director at Cannes), rights were bought up and passed around, landing at Universal, where Ron Howard expressed interest. This news came about a year ago; no updates since then, and Howard has plenty on his plate. More as/if it develops.
