“Run, Lola Run” Japanese Theatrical Poster
A Chinese remake of Tom Tykwer’s 1998 German thriller Run, Lola Run is currently in the works. Zhu Zhu (Marco Polo), who is set to star and produce, will play the titular role originally played by Franka Potente (The Bourne Identity). There is currently no director attached to the project (via CFI).
The original Run, Lola Run is about a a woman who needs to obtain 100,000 Deutschmarks in twenty minutes to save her boyfriend’s life. The film is known for its fast-paced editing and time loop narrative (similar to 1993’s Groundhog Day and the 1997 Hong Kong gangster film, Too Many Ways to Be Number One).
We’ll keep updated on the remake as we hear more. Until then, here’s the Trailer to the 1998 original:
