The Truth About Charlie was produced, directed and co-written by Academy Award winner Jonathan Demme. It stars Mark Wahlberg and Thandie Newton in the roles once played by Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn.
This version closely mirrors the plotline of the original film. It is once again set in Paris and features several famous French actors. Director Agnès Varda makes a cameo appearance. Actress/Chanteuse Anna Karina sings a Serge Gainsbourg song in one scene.
Peter Stone, screenwriter of Charade, receives a story credit as "Peter Joshua," which was one of the identities Grant's character used in the first film. Stone disliked the remake and refused to be credited under his real name. The name of Wahlberg's character in the remake is "Joshua Peters."
The film received a mixed reception from critics and was a flop at the box office, bringing only $7 million worldwide.
