In a world of reboots, no movie is safe. Memento remake movie coming soon.

Memento was nominated for best screenplay and best editing and landed Christopher Nolan to A-list status. It made $25.5. million in the US box office, qualifying it as a break out independent hit movie.
Here’s why Hollywood wants to remake Memento:
“Memento is a masterpiece that leaves audiences guessing not just throughout the film, but long after as well, which is a testament to its daring approach. We intend to stay true to Christopher Nolan’s vision and deliver a memorable movie that is every bit as edgy, iconic and award-worthy as the original. It’s a big responsibility to deliver something that lives up to the mastery of the original, but we are extremely excited and motivated to bring this puzzle back to life and back into the minds of moviegoers.”
