Ron Howard may make an American version of Cache for Universal Pictures, reports Variety.

Brian Grazer will produce the remake for Imagine, which acquired the rights from Plum Pictures, with Howard eyeing to direct. Plum's Celine Rattray will executive produce, along with Randy Simon, and Plum's Galt Niederhoffer and Daniela Taplin Lundberg will co-produce.

Michael Haneke wrote and helmed the French original, which starred Daniel Auteuil and Juliette Binoche as a couple who find increasingly violent videos on their porch. Haneke won best director prize at Cannes in 2005.

The Universal version, to be set in the U.S., is expected to amp up the suspense and consequences.

I don't see a thread for the original. The original was very... uh... original. One of the most innovative films I've seen. But not the kind of a movie that would be successful here, so I don't know how the remake will turn out. Will they still have all those very long static shots? What about the fact that the movie doesn't really answer any questions it raises, or has any sort of a resolution? At the very core, this movie was not about the plot itself, or even the characters, so if the remake focuses on that, then I doubt it will be very well received.

I was so excited to see cache, and the setup was great. But it never delivered. I ended up disappointed.
