\"\"<\/a>\u201cBridesmaids\u201d director Paul Feig<\/strong> is moving into dramatic territory with an American remake of the French smash \u201cThe Intouchables,<\/strong>\u201d<\/a> and buzz is building over who will take on the role that won Omar Sy<\/strong><\/a> the French equivalent of a Best Actor Oscar.<\/p>\n

We hear stars circling the role in the Weinstein Co. film include Chris Rock, Jamie Foxx<\/strong> and Idris Elba<\/strong> from \u201cThe Wire.\u201d<\/p>\n

The story follows a wealthy, disabled man who hires a commoner caretaker. Sources say \u201cLawless\u201d star Jessica Chastain<\/strong> and Michelle Williams<\/strong> of \u201cMy Week With Marilyn\u201d are in the mix for the female lead.<\/p>\n

The movie\u2019s original French version, which is now playing in the States, hauled in $349 million internationally.<\/p>\n

Sy recently talked to Blackfilm.com<\/a><\/strong> about his role in the original and his thoughts on the remake, stating, ” I\u2019m curious to see this film. I\u2019m looking forward to it. I don\u2019t have any specific input on what it should be like or who will play my role. My film is done and that\u2019s what we have.”<\/p>\n
