Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen's movie "Another Round" (Danish: Druk), the Danish dramedy that earned the Oscar for the best international film on Sunday, is set to be remade into an English-language movie.

Leonardo DiCaprio’s "Appian Way", "Endeavor Content", and Brad Weston's "Makeready" have picked up the remake rights, which will also be financed by Endeavor and Makeready and could potentially star DiCaprio.

"Another Round" features Mikkelsen as a day-drinking high school teacher who endures a midlife crisis driven by alcohol abuse.

Thomas Vinterberg, who directed and co-wrote the original version, is set to executive produce the remake along with Sisse Graum Jorgensen and Kasper Dissing.

"Another Round" also starred Thomas Bo Larsen, Maria Bonnevie, Magnus Millang, and Lars Ranthe.
