I'm confused about the Simone Ashley movie but I'm scared to ask elsewhere because her stans scare me. It's a Amazon Prime UK movie based off of a Amazon Prime Australia movie that just came out a month ago. Is it that the writer sold the same script twice or are they moving up remakes so quickly that they're remaking movies before they even come out now? I don't think I've ever seen this happen before

This movie just came out Feb 2024 and the Simone one is a remake of it https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21236048/

I'm not sure of the answer! I know the Simone Ashley movie wrapped filming back in early November.

From the article it sounds like a remake because the writers are different. It kind of reminds me of how other countries have different versions of tv shows. Like, how Russia had its own version of How I Met Your Mother. It's weird.
