Eva Longoria is developing an English-language remake of smash-hit Chilean film Sin Filtro (No Filter). Her UnbeliEVAble Entertainment production company has teamed with Charles D. King’s MACRO to bring writer/director Nicolas Lopez’s 2016 movie to the U.S. for a revamp, according to Deadline.

Longoria and her partners are now on the hunt for a writer and director for the remake, which they hope to start shooting early next year (18).
