Sony Pictures Classics is on board to produce Zhang Yimou’s Chinese remake of the Coen Brothers’ “Blood Simple,” reports THR.

The 1985 original, the Coen brothers’ debut feature, was a neo-noir crime-thriller that focused on a rich but jealous man who hires a private investigator to kill his cheating wife and her new man.

SPC has inked a deal to produce the film while acquiring distribution rights in North America, Latin America, Australia, and New Zealand.

Yimou is best known for his award winning Chinese films, “Hero,” and “House of Flying Daggers.”

The pic will mark the 11th collaboration between SPC and the world-renowned auteur.

“Blood Simple” is a term used to describe the addled, fearful mindset people are in after a prolonged immersion in violent situations.
