MY SASSY GIRL GETS NEW DIRECTOR
The US remake of Korea's MY SASSY GIRL looked like it was dead for a long time, but a few months back it came back to life when it was announced that Gurinder Chadha was attached to the project. Now a new director is attached, Yann Samuell a Belgian filmmaker (a little more info on him is here). Not much to say beyond that except for this neither here nor there plot description:
My Sassy Girl centres on a Midwestern man whose world is turned upside-down when he falls for a reckless free spirit. Casting will be announced in due course.

According to that Screen Daily article (which you have posted on this article), Gold Circle will produce this movie.... not Dreamworks!

I guess it was too much to hope for this to stay in development hell forever, eh?

AS much as I'm not big on the idea of this being remade at all, I've got to say Samuell is a decent choice. Love Me If You Dare wasn't without its flaws, but I think he'll get the tone of what makes this work ...

Sounds like Demme's Something Wild. Or something.

You're focussed on director but don't forget the very important scriptwriter Victor Levin he wrote for Mad about you

Now what you mention Mad About You, it should really be a reunion movie for Paul Reiser and Helen Hunt, like The Lake House is the Speed reunion.
