Death at a Funeral Movie Synopsis & Plot

A re-imagining of "Death at a Funeral," the 2007 MGM comedy directed by Frank Oz. The plan is to make an ensemble comedy about a funeral ceremony that leads to the digging up of shocking family secrets, as well as misplaced cadavers and indecent exposure. While the original was set in Britain, the new film will take place in an urban American setting.

MOVIE REVIEW

Remaking modern, foreign-made movies for American audiences is a frustrating tactic studios have been expanding recently. Whether it's Ringu or Let the Right One In, or The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, the American versions can at best match their foreign language counterparts and more often than not end up being simply shells of the originals. At the same time, I can understand the business decision to create English-language remakes.
