In 2010, Juan José Campanella’s El Secreto de sus Ojos won the Oscar for Best Foreign Film. But because Hollywood can’t leave a good thing alone, it’s now getting an English-language remake directed by Billy Ray. The thriller stars Julia Roberts, an FBI investigator whose teenage daughter turns up dead in a Dumpster. And when Nicole Kidman, the district attorney, can’t build a strong enough case against the primary suspect, Roberts’s co-worker and close friend, played by Chiwetel Ejiofor, goes on a 13-year manhunt for the guy they let walk. Just when they think they’ve found him and can reopen the case, Roberts goes all The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo to exact “justice†(read: revenge). The Secret in Their Eyes opens October 23.
