The Remake Co. Unveils 13th Adaptation of Hit Global Franchise ‘Ten Days Without Mom'
The Remake Co., the influential format and IP distribution label created in 2007 by Argentina's FilmSharks, has reached a new milestone in its global film adaptation efforts. The company has now broken its own previous record for the most remade title, with 'Ten Days Without Mom' becoming the most adapted film in its catalog, surpassing the long-held benchmark set by 'A Boyfriend for My Wife,' which had 12 international remakes.
With 13 versions either completed or in production, 'Ten Days Without Mom' continues to build momentum globally. Recent remake deals have been secured with major players including Nashe Kino in Russia, Athena in India, United King Films in Israel and Vertigo in Hungary. The wave of international interest underscores the film's broad appeal and the ongoing success of The Remake Co.'s model.

Sony has renewed its remake options for both Germany and Turkey, where projects are actively in development. Meanwhile, the Spanish sequel to 'Ten Days Without Mom,' 'Padre no hay más que uno 5,' is set for theatrical release on June 26, continuing its run as one of Spain's highest-grossing film franchises.
Other hits in The Remake Co.'s portfolio have shown similar global traction. 'Today We Fix the World' led Netflix's rankings across Latin America with its Mexican adaptation. 'Sin Filtro' has been remade in multiple countries, consistently topping box offices. 'Dos Más Dos' enjoyed streaming success, with its Colombian version dominating ViX+ charts.
The Remake Co. also oversees valuable content libraries, including the Disney-owned Patagonik catalogue and Brazil's Total Entertainment archive, home to box-office hit 'If I Were You' ('Si Eu Fosse Você').
With demand for high-concept, remake-friendly properties continuing to grow, The Remake Co. says it is actively pursuing new partnerships and catalogue expansions to meet industry demand. Recent acquisitions and projects in development include 'Morgue,' currently being adapted for Mexico by BH5 for a 2025 release, and a Spanish-language TV series adaptation of 'Nine Queens,' a deal reportedly close to finalization with a leading OTT platform.
Additional remakes are in various stages of negotiation: an English-language version of 'Letters to Father Jacob,' an Indonesian adaptation of 'Big Bad Wolves,' and a remake of 'The Others' in collaboration with Universal Pictures.
According to Guido Rud, founder of FilmSharks and The Remake Co., 'A box office film does not drive remake potential, it's driven by a high-concept plot that is refreshing, modern, marketable and simple to produce. The Remake Co. has gained its leadership because of its reputation as 'tastemakers,' as we have an eye for great scripts, which is why producers tend to come to us to find a remake project to do a local production. It's all about the script.'
As the global market for content localization continues to grow, The Remake Co. is poised to remain a central figure in driving international storytelling through smart, scalable adaptations.

Rihanna-Approved London Designer Supriya Lele on Her Collaboration With Mango
Worn by Rihanna, seen on the cover–and in the pages–of British Vogue (Yasmin Finney wore an azure minidress for the December 2022 issue), Supriya Lele's trajectory has reached far beyond her London studio. And after a hiatus from the London Fashion Week schedule, the British-Indian designer now has hit another milestone: a collaboration with Mango, launching 5 June. 'Hopefully this will be the beginning of a slow reintegration in whatever way feels right,' Lele tells Vogue of working with the Spanish retailer as the first partner of the Mango Collective, a platform 'dedicated to celebrating the creativity and innovation of niche designers.' The union will introduce a new customer to the Supriya universe and, in turn, project her namesake brand to a global audience–a worthy opportunity in this testing fashion landscape. Amounting pressure on Supriya and her London cohort has presented an array of impossibilities in recent years: 'It's so sad that we're in a position where everybody is having to skip out, step back,' she says of her London Fashion Week pause. It's no small feat to be an independent brand right now. 'I love making collections–that's why I love what I do,' she explains of returning to the process of building an idea into a full look. And the Mango collab followed the same tried-and-tested method she uses each season: starting with research and conjuring a direction, then fittings with a model and her stylist, Jane How. 'We have the same brain,' she says of How, who first loaned looks when Supriya was showing with the capital's renowned incubator, Fashion East. Amidst core archive silhouettes revived from previous seasons–including body-flossed waist cut-outs, swaddling silhouettes and sheer, conceal-reveal fabrications–Supriya was able to bring her longtime visions for shoes, bags and jewellery to life. She was in constant dialogue with Jane and her friends about what people would want to wear. 'I like every single piece. There's not a piece in there I don't like or that I wouldn't wear. I'd wear every single one,' she asserts. From London, they went to the Mango HQ in Barcelona, where they worked closely with the design team and created a commercial collection, while retaining Supriya's unique 'identity and aesthetic.' 'Everything that I've done has always been about the visual language and the way that it's presented–and that's so important to me,' she explains of the 'sensitivity' that the team had towards the finer details, such as swing tags and the size of the font inside the shoes. Despite the refined attention to detail, the overall journey was straightforward and decisions were made fast– something that Supriya credits to her adaptability as a brand founder. 'You're a manager, you're HR… I'm like, 'can I do my accounts on the bus?'' she laughs. 'Then there's a fancy dinner and I'm wondering… 'what am I going to wear?''. London-based designer, Supriya Lele. Courtesy of Mango Spain also provided the backdrop for the accompanying campaign. Supriya tapped Johnny Dufort (who just shot Billie Eilish for British Vogue's May 2025 cover) to capture the looks in both the studio and outdoors with a nighttime skyline in the background. (This is where the collection's title, 'A Summer Reverie' comes in.) 'It's so fresh and visually arresting,' she says.

Nioh 3 is heading to PS5 and PC in 2026, complete with two distinct combat styles
Nioh 3 is heading to PlayStation 5 and PC in 2026 and you can get a taste of its Sengoku setting and dark samurai action on Sony's console right now. A demo for the game is live today on PS5 and it'll be available through June 18, courtesy of developer Team Ninja and publisher Koei Tecmo. The game reveal was a nice surprise during Sony's State of Play event today, and it came with a trailer showcasing big, demonic creatures and frantic action scenes. Much like its predecessors, Nioh 3 is a dark fantasy action RPG set in 15-century Japan. The original Nioh came out in 2017 and its sequel landed in 2020, with a handful of Dead or Alive installments released in between. Nioh 3 introduces a new combat system to the series that lets players swap between two distinct fighting styles, Samurai and Ninja. Samurai is similar to previous Nioh titles with a focus on close-range martial arts, while Ninja enables quick reactions like dodging and aerial moves. Players will be able to change combat styles on the fly. Nioh 3 features an open world — Team Ninja calls it an "open field," actually — to explore, as well. "Aside from the new battle styles, Nioh 3 also enables players to enjoy an open field that offers a new freedom of exploration to the unique tension and confrontations that have become a defining characteristic of the Nioh series," Team Ninja head Fumihiko Yasuda said on the PlayStation Blog. "Experience unexpected encounters with formidable yokai, explore suspicious villages riddled in violent secrets, and take on the daunting challenges of The Crucible."

OO7 First Light Reveals Our New Digital James Bond
Today, during Sony's big State of Play, IO Interactive revealed a new trailer for its upcoming James Bond game, 007 First Light. The big news out of the trailer is the first official reveal of the game's new James Bond, which you can see in the image above. Here's the full trailer straight from State of Play: And here's the game's official description, courtesy of YouTube: In 007 First Light, follow James Bond as a young, resourceful, and sometimes reckless recruit in MI6's training program, and discover an origin story of the world's most famous spy. Coming 2026. Earlier this week, IOI, the studio famously behind the excellent Hitman franchise, finally revealed more about its upcoming Bond game, including its name: First Light. The game is coming to PS5, Xbox, Switch 2, and PC in 2026. According to First Light's website, which was updated earlier this week, IOI's game will feature a 'wholly original Bond origin story' that will let players 'step into the shoes of the world's favorite Secret Agent to earn their 00 status.' And in this new trailer, we got a good look at this new Bond. Personally, while the game looks very exciting and fun, I'm disappointed by how bland and boring the new Bond looks. He looks like the guy you start with in a big RPG character creator, the guy you immediately modify to make them look interesting. It's been a long wait for this game. IOI first announced this new 007 game nearly five years ago, back in November 2020. Now, we know that nearly six years later, 007: First Light will finally be arriving on consoles and PC. Will Agent 47 make a cameo appearance? I hope so. For the latest news, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
