Remaking Hitchcock is all the rage at the moment, as just last week DreamWorks and Working Title Films announced plans for a new take on Rebecca, with Eastern Promises scribe Steven Knight writing. Now Variety reports that Veena Cabreros Sud, who’s best known for working on TV’s The Killing, has been hired to script a remake of Hitchcock’s Suspicion.

The original film is about a dowdy young woman (portrayed by Joan Fontaine) who married an irresponsible charmer (Cary Grant) despite the strong disapproval of her wealthy father – and then begins to suspect that her new hubby plans to kill her. Joan Fontaine won a best actress Oscar for her performance in the 1941 feature.

It’s a decent but basic set-up, which Hitchcock took to a higher level. Hopefully this new version will be able to do something interesting with it. It’s early days so there’s no director or production schedule set as yet.
