Deadline reports that the rights to the film were already obtained long before the current high-profile college admissions scandal broke out.
The original Bad Genius film was based on a real-life SAT cheating scandal that happened in China.
The remake will be a high-stakes and high-octane thriller which will follow a group of entrepreneurial high school seniors who team up to take down the rigged college admissions system.
With the help of fellow top student Bank, they’ve carefully planned and prepared for the very difficult operation that will earned them millions of baht from wealthy students clients.
