According to The Hollywood Reporter, Brad Anderson has been tapped to adapt and direct a remake of Hans Weingartner's political German film The Edukators.

Palmer West and Jonah Smith of production outfit Thousand Words will produce the film.

The story centers on three youths whose concern over global capitalism leads them from acts of protest to serious crime. The original, released domestically last summer by IFC Films, won top honors at the German Critics Film Awards and top honors at several European film festivals.
