It’s only been a few days since Another Round won an Oscar for the best international film, and it seems we haven’t seen the last of it. An English-language remake is currently in development, with Leonardo DiCaprio eyed to play the lead role.

Production companies Appian Way, Endeavor Content, and Makeready won the rights for a remake after an intense bidding battle. The new version of Another Round is being developed as a potential star vehicle for Leonardo DiCaprio, who’s supposed to take the role played by Mads Mikkelsen in the original film.

Another Round centered on a group of friends who are trying to test the theory their lives will improve if they maintain a constant level of alcohol in their blood, only to face dire consequences. The news of a potential remake was met with a lot of criticism online, but the director Thomas Vinterberg gave it his blessing.

“It’s an interesting artistic thing to see something grow into different versions. Now it’s in the hands of the finest actor you can get and besides being a brilliant actor, he’s made very intelligent choices throughout his career… I’m full of hope and curiosity about what they’re up to,” Vinterberg told IndieWire.

Danish drama Another Round premiered to rave reviews at the Toronto International Film Festival, and it was just a matter of time before major awards started coming its way. That moment is here, as this film was crowned as the major winner at the European Film Awards.

Another Round sees Mads Mikkelsen joining forces with the acclaimed filmmaker Thomas Vinterberg. They previously worked together on the poignant drama The Hunt from 2012, which led Mikkelsen to the best actor win at the Cannes Film Festival.

Judging by its triumph at the European Film Awards, Another Round could even exceed the success of their previous collaboration. In addition to winning the award for best film, it also came out victorious in the categories of best director, best actor, and best screenwriter.

The 33rd European Film Awards were supposed to take place in Reykjavík, Iceland on December 12th, before shifting to a virtual format on that same date. Before the ceremony took place, Another Round has already been picked as the Danish entry for the best international feature film at the upcoming Academy Awards.
