With Jorge Grau's blessing…
- Stake Land director Jim Mickle is set to remake Jorge Grau's We Are What We Are. Grau has given Mickle his blessing to remake the film. The events of the film are being changed from Mexico to the "poor" region of New York state's Catskills and Stake Land writer Nick Damici is writing the script. In the original, a cannibal family is forced to fend for itself when the patriarch dies.
Grau had the following to say about the remake…
"I feel fortunate to have someone with the vision and talent Jim has to re-interpret my work. It is extraordinary to have a team of filmmakers so respectful of the spirit of a film and take such good care of its essence. I'm so proud to know We Are What We Are will be reworked under that kind of intelligent frame of mind. Very happy that Jim will construct a new universe over the bases of mine."
