Well, this is a handy coincidence. Filipino director Yam Laranas finished work on his upcoming film The Echo - an English language remake of his own earlier film Sigaw - just a couple weeks back and the film itself was my first screening upon arriving in Cannes. And mere hours after leaving the theater some kind soul passed along the first official still to appear from the film.
The film itself? It maintains the tone of the first while also making enough significant changes to plot and character that it plays more like a somewhat darker riff on the same themes that drove the original than a straight up remake. You can find the still at the link below.
