Wish Fulfillment

In my short review of Caché, I opined that the film is based on
a good premise [...], the story has some nice twists and it's good to see this not develop into a Hollywood-style redemption movie, but the screenwriter Haneke decides to piss the story's potential up the wall in favour of artsy cleverness and the director Haneke, it appears, does not realize that film is a visual medium [...]. Badly in need of a remake. Even if it features Bruce Willis.
Now Roger Ebert mentions that "Martin Scorsese has optioned it for an American version." It seems, though, that it's going to be DiCaprio instead of Willis.
