Netflix is set to make an English-language remake of another award-winning international film with Jake Gyllenhaal tapped for the lead role.

2018's Danish thriller, The Guilty, won the Best Foreign Language Film at the 91st Academy Awards. The film also went on to receive critical acclaim from Rotten Tomatoes. It currently holds a 97% approval rating on the review aggregation website with a 7.94 (out of 10) average rating.

Soon after its premiere in 2018, Jake Gyllenhaal and Nine Stories bought the rights to make an American remake of The Guilty. Then, in 2020, Netflix secured worldwide distribution rights for the film. Now, years later, the English remake of the thriller film is finally set to release on the popular streaming platform with a brand-new trailer generating a ton of buzz.
