Sony Pictures is in the early stages of mounting a remake of the 1985 thriller Jagged Edge, as a star vehicle for Halle Berry. The effort is being led by Steven Bersch, the Sony Worldwide Acquisitions Group head who took over the genre arm Screen Gems. This one could very well be a standard Sony release, but they’re still working that out. The project is a priority and the studio has begun the search for the right writer to draft the new version.

Matti Leshem and Doug Belgrad will produce it. Scott Strauss will oversee for the studio.

Directed by Richard Marquand from a Joe Eszterhas script, the original starred Glenn Close, Jeff Bridges and Robert Loggia, latter of whom got an Oscar nomination. In the original, a San Francisco heiress is brutally murdered in her remote beach house. Her dashing newspaper publisher husband Jack is accused of committing the gruesome crime. He hires lawyer Teddy Barnes to defend him, and their chemistry spills into an affair. Even though the lawyer is falling in love, can’t shake the feeling that something isn’t quite right with the case, with the killer sending anonymous notes pecked out on an old typewriter. Is Jack the key to a happy future for the lawyer if she can get him acquitted in a courtroom, or is he a sociopath? The original was released when sexually charged whodunits were the rage. With TV minting money relaunching classic series like Roseanne, refashioning 80s concepts for price-minded updates seems a clever idea.

Don't think this calls for a remake. Original is completely fine, in fact quite good and well acted (especially by Glenn Close) and what I liked most about it is how well it keeps you guessing about Jeff Bridges' character and then you start doubting yourself and then you start doubting having doubted your self haha. And for me that went on until the very final "reveal" - !

I don’t see that happening. She’s way too limited and prone to histrionics.

She’s basically resorted to being the B-grade Liam Neeson and trying to re-create Monster’s Ball every few years.

I think it’s interesting that someone with such a marketable look and so much hype struggles as much as she does to find decent vehicles. Even Octavia Spencer has carved out a decent post Oscar career for herself and she’s not a major talent either.

Never say never . Anything's possible . Besides , she may not be the most consistent actress out there but she can truly shine with the right material.
