Wentworth Miller is writing the screenplay. Producers are Maven Pictures’ Celine Rattray and Trudie Styler with Michelle Krumm. The story involves the titular Harry claiming to be a high school classmate of a less-than-happily married man and insinuating himself into his life. After Harry gives his new friend a taste of a life he’s missed out on, things take a sinister turn. The French film, released in 2000, starred Laurent Lucas, Mathilde Seigner and Sergi Lopez. Director Dominik Moll and Lopez won Cesar awards. Bernstein is represented by ICM Partners.
