Hey folks, Harry here... Well, if this is Harrison Ford's next project... and if this is Jonathan Demme's next project... It is a remake of a very very good Norwegian Thriller called INSOMNIA (1997). That film was expertly constructed and wonderful across the board. Check out the Criterion DVD to see if I'm right... I am... This was one of the better thrillers in the last half of the 90's. Ordinarily I'd be against it being remade, but to watch Demme play again in the thriller genre with Tak Fujimoto in control of photography... and the fact that I know Demme would push Harrison into a very good character performance. Harrison would have to nail desperation and paranoia down pat. Could be a great film for them to work on. Let's see how this comes together.
Could the movie Insomnia (movie information below) be Harrison's next movie? From the description of this movie, I'm excited :)
