Variety has broken the news that Will Ferrell will star in an Americanized remake of The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out a Window and Disappeared for CBS Films.
Among the more little-known names at last year’s Academy Awards was that of Allan Karlsson, the subject of the Swedish comedy The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out a Window and Disappeared.
My question is whether the American version will touch on the same milestones of global history.
American palates might get more humor from, say, Elvis jokes than Oppenheimer jokes.
