"Memento," the movie helmed by Christopher Nolan that put the Oscar-winning director on the map, is getting a remake, announced AMBI Pictures.

AMBI Pictures announced that it would be financing and producing the iconic thriller. The company, lead by Andrea Iervolino and Monika Bacardi, acquired the remake rights to the film when it took over the Exclusive Media Group's film library, which comprises of nearly 400 titles including films like "Cruel Intentions," "Donnie Darko," "Rush" and "Sliding Doors," among others, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Nolan also penned the original 2000 film, with Guy Pearce in the lead role of a man who "creates a strange system to help him remember things; so he can hunt for the murderer of his wife without his short-term memory loss being an obstacle," according to Just Jared.

"'Memento' is a masterpiece that leaves audiences guessing not just throughout the film, but long after as well, which is a testament to its daring approach." AMBI Pictures co-head Monika Bacardi said. "We intend to stay true to Christopher Nolan's vision and deliver a memorable movie that is every bit as edgy, iconic and award-worthy as the original."

This won't be the first time "Memento" will be remade, as two Indian films (both titled "Ghajini") were recreated from Nolan's original in 2005 and 2008, according to Coming Soon.
