According to The Wrap, The Kids Are All Right director Lisa Choledenko has stepped up to direct Paramount Pictures‘ English remake of the German comedy film Toni Erdmann starring Kristen Wiig.
Toni Erdmann tells the story of a father (Peter Simonischek) who, hoping to reconnect with his career-minded daughter, creates the titular Toni Erdmann, a fictional life coach who winds up wreaking havoc with the daughter’s professional life.
The English language Toni Erdmann remake will be produced by the Gary Sanchez Productions offshoot Gloria Sanchez Productions.
In addition, the outlet also reported that Jack Nicholson (The Shining, The Bucket List) is no longer a part of the film adaptation.
