Danish ‘Speak No Evil’ director hits out at remake for rewriting “entire ending”: “I don’t know what it is about Americans

The Danish director of the original Speak No Evil has hit out at the new remake for rewriting the "entire ending" of the film.

In order to reflect the imposing nature of the character, McAvoy told The Guardian what he did to prepare: “30 push-ups, five seconds before the take, just to pump my shoulders out, make my neck thicker, get the veins going”. In a four star review of the new film, NME said: “The gruelling, violent final act really gets the blood pumping, as it dawns on Ben, Louise and Agnes that they’re in serious danger. All the cast play their parts, but an off-the-leash McAvoy is a joy to behold, channelling the same twisted energy he mined for his addict-cop in Irvine Welsh adaptation Filth.
