Naomi Watts to star in American remake of Goodnight Mommy for Amazon

According to Variety, Naomi Watts has signed on to star in an American remake of cult classic Austrian film Goodnight Mommy for Amazon Studios, with Take Me To The River’s Matt Sobel directing and original directors Severin Fiala and Veronicka Franz involved as executive producers (though how much involvement that actually entails is anyone’s guess). We won’t spoil the original for anyone lucky enough to have missed it (it’s good but it’s a lot), but the basic premise is that it’s about two twins whose mother returns from some kind of operation with her face covered in bandages, leading them to conclude that she’s been replaced by an imposter. From there… it goes to some places.
