Exclusive: Dutch director to remake 2014 feature with Us outfit Stun Originals.
Paula van der Oest is to remake her 2014 feature Accused (aka Lucia De B.) as an English-language Us mini-series.
The Oscar-nominated Dutch director is in development on the series with Stun Originals, the original programming division of Los Angeles-based advertising and branded entertainment company, Stun Creative.
Stun Originals president, Maria Crenna, is a former studio executive who developed hit series Friends, Criminal Minds and CSI, among others.
Accused (handled by Fortissimo) is a thriller based on a true story.
The film follows headstrong nurse, Lucia de Berk (Ariane Schluter), present at one inexplicable death too many. She is charged by the police and eventually sentenced to a life in prison. Her case, though, became acknowledged as one of the biggest miscarriages in the history of Dutch justice.
Van der Oest’s La agent brought the project to Crenna.

Thanks to Quietearth for the news that Dutch crime-writer and freelance journalist Saskia Noort's thriller novel Back to the Coast (Terug naar de kust) has been made into a film called The Dark House, and there's a new trailer!
The film surrounds the stalking and attempted murder of a woman who chooses to have an abortion and escape her abusive boyfriend and an unknown assailant. Set in an isolated beach house, with brooding weather, the trailer looks like a really high-end Lifetime TV horror movie that has incredible acting and some awesome female characters facing the realities of modern women's reproductive choices (usually sans stalking.) Read on for official synopsis and trailer...

The Dark House is a new Dutch thriller based on a popular novel called "Back to the Coast" ("Terug naar de kust") written by crime-writer and freelance journalist Saskia Noort. No, we don't know much about this one, but since we were all immediately impressed by the photography in this first trailer we decided to help spread the word.
Synopsis:
Soul singer Maria chooses to abort an unplanned pregnancy rather than bring a third child into her already chaotic life. This single action ends up destroying everything in her life as an unknown and increasingly malevolent stalker harasses her for choosing an abortion. Fleeing her life and former boyfriend in Amsterdam, Maria returns to her family home on the desolate seaside to stay with her social-worker older sister, abandoning everything except her children in a desperate bid to escape.
The film is directed by quite a famous Dutch TV director...
