’The Ghost’ Remake at Dimension
Dimension Films has acquired the remake rights to the Korean horror film “Ryeong” (The Ghost) from Showbox.
“The Ghost” revolves around a teenage girl suffering from amnesia who discovers that she is somehow connected to a group of people who are being killed off one by one by a vengeful ghost.
The horror film genre is a huge homegrown industry in Korea, and “Ryeong”, directed by Tae-kyeong Kim, was the best-performing horror movie of the summer.
Vertigo Entertainment has become a specialist in remakes of Asian films, especially horror fare. The company executive produced DreamWorks’ “The Ring”, which grossed $250 million worldwide, and is working on “The Ring 2″. “The Grudge“, its remake of the Japanese film “Ju-on: The Grudge”, stars Sarah Michelle Gellar and opens October 22nd via Sony Pictures. The company’s “Dark Water,” starring Jennifer Connelly and directed by Walter Salles, just wrapped.
