More Information
The Anthony Shaffer play originally brought to the screen in 1972 gets the remake treatment in this updating that finds Michael Caine stepping into the role of the brilliant thriller writer portrayed by Laurence Olivier in the original, and Jude Law following in Caine's footsteps as the young hairdresser who steals the literary giant's wife, only to find himself subsequently swallowed up in an elaborate revenge scheme. Kenneth Branagh directs a script adapted from Shaffer's original play by screenwriter Harold Pinter.

Summary
Premiere: October 12, 2007.
Sleuth is a 2007 film directed by Kenneth Branagh based on 2005 Nobel Laureate in Literature Harold Pinter's screenplay adaptation of the Tony Award-winning play Sleuth, by Anthony Shaffer. It was produced by Jude Law, who also stars in it as Milo Tindle opposite Michael Caine as Andrew Wyke. Caine had starred as Tindle opposite Laurence Olivier's Wyke in the original 1972 film Sleuth. It was mainly marketed as a collaboration between Pinter, Branagh, Law, and Caine, four major names of the British stage and film industry. Though the new film adaptation is termed a "remake", the stars and the reviewers have emphasized that Pinter's "take" on the play differs almost entirely from the original play and film, which he had not seen prior to writing his screenplay.
