    AceShowbiz –
    Thomas Vinterberg’s acclaimed movie “Another Round” is on the fast track for a Hollywood English-language remake a day after it scored the Best International Film prize at the 2021 Oscars.

    The project has been picked up by Leonardo DiCaprio’s Appian Way production company as a possible starring vehicle for “The Revenant” star. He is likely to play the role Mads Mikkelsen took on in the film about four middle-aged teacher friends, who decide to test a theory that life is best lived in a permanent state of mild intoxication.

    DiCaprio and his partners outbid Jake Gyllenhaal’s Nine Stories and Elizabeth Banks for the rights to Vinterberg’s film, according to Deadline.

    The director gave one of the most touching acceptance speeches at the Academy Awards when he dedicated the Best International Film win to his late daughter Ida, who was set to play the daughter of Mikkelsen’s character when she was killed in a car crash.

    “We wanted to make a film that celebrates life,” the 51-year-old Danish filmmaker said. “We ended up making this movie for her, it’s her monument.” He then gave a shout-out to his late daughter, “You’re part of this miracle. Maybe you’ve been pulling some strings somewhere.”

    While news of “Another Round” remake was met with mixed reaction, Vinterberg explained to IndieWire why he looks forward to it. “I’ve seen various interpretations of my work before,” he pointed out. “It’s an interesting artistic thing to see something grow into different versions.”

    “Now it’s in the hands of the finest actor you can get and besides being a brilliant actor, he’s made very intelligent choices throughout his career,” the director continued. “I feel there’s a lot of integrity in the choices he’s made. I’m full of hope and curiosity about what they’re up to.”

      The Danish movie starring Mads Mikkelsen has dominated the European Film Awards, taking home three coveted honors including Best Actor for the male lead.

      Dec 13, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Thomas Vinterberg’s acclaimed new movie “Another Round” has swept the European Film Awards, landing three prizes, including Best Actor for Mads Mikkelsen.
      Vinterberg also picked up Best European Film and Best Screenwriter alongside Tobias Lindholm.
      The win cements the Danish movie as a favourite for the Foreign Language film Oscar next year (21). The project, about a group of teachers who pledge to stay drunk to test a theory that modest inebriation opens minds, has been a favourite at this year’s film festivals.
      Accepting the Best Film honour at the virtual EFA ceremony on Saturday (12Dec20), Vinterberg said, “My first film was about child abuse, my second one about the same and now we’ve made a film about four heterosexual white males teaching youngsters to drink. It could never have been possible outside of this continent and I’m super proud to be awarded in this continent.”

      The filmmaker also paid tribute to his teenage daughter, Ida, who died in a car accident while he was making “Another Round”, “She loved this project, she was a part of this project – she was supposed to act in it, it was made at her school, amongst her friends in her classroom – and the only thing that made sense when she died was to carry on and make this movie for her.”
      “It’s made by all of us who love her and miss her dearly, and your votes and your award will honour her memory.”
      On winning the European Actor trophy, Mikkelsen, who is currently filming the third “Fantastic Beasts” film after replacing Johnny Depp as villain Gellert Grindelwald, also remembered his director’s daughter, stating, “One reason this film was made, one reason why this film was finalised is one little shining light that is not here anymore. But her light is in every frame of this film, so we dedicate it to Ida Vinterberg.”
