Back in August Deadline reported that Steven Spielberg's Dreamworks were set to remake the Japanese movie "Like Father, Like Son." Well the news is now official as the studio has confirmed the news.
The movie came to Spielberg's attention while he was on the jury for this year's Cannes Film Festival.
“When I saw the film at Cannes, I was so impressed by its power to bring such a human story to the screen. Here at DreamWorks Studios, Stacey and our team recognized that it was a story we wanted to remake to bring to our audiences throughout the world. I thank Hirokazu Kore-eda and Fuji TV for giving us this once in a lifetime opportunity."
The film centres on a young, wealthy couple who finds out that their 6-year-old son is not actually theirs and that their baby was switched at the hospital. They discover that their biological child is being raised by a family with lesser means and try to reconnect with their child.
