Alexander Payne (The Descendants, Sideways) will direct a re-imagining of Babette's Feast, the 1988 Oscar-winning Danish film which Gabriel Axel wrote and directed from a story by Isak Dinesen (Karen Blixen). Deadline reported that the script will be written by Guy Branum (The Other Two, The Mindy Project).
The film "will be set in a religious community in small-town Minnesota, where two older, unmarried sisters accept a refugee, who leads them to confront their regrets, over an extraordinary meal," Deadline wrote.
