Game of Thrones star Stephen Dillane and Clémence Poésy have reportedly landed the lead roles in Sky Atlantic's remake of The Bridge.
The Tunnel will star Dillane as detective Karl Roebuck and Poésy as his partner Elise Wassermann, TVWise claims.
The Tunnel - based on the Scandinavian crime drama - is being co-produced by Sky and French premium channel Canal+.
Like the original, the UK / French adaptation will focus on two detectives who are brought together when a dead body is found on the border between their two countries.
Dillane plays Stannis Baratheon on Game of Thrones and recently appeared on BBC / Cinemax spy drama Hunted, while Poésy has appeared on Gossip Girl and starred opposite Eddie Redmayne in BBC One's adaptation of Birdsong.
Kudos Film & TV and Shine France will co-produce the 10-part Tunnel series, with French filmmaker Dominik Moll directing.
US cable network FX is also developing its own remake of The Bridge starring Diane Kruger, Demián Bichir and Matthew Lillard.
