Zellweger "Eyes" Role in Horror Remake
Variety brings news that the always-busy Renee Zellweger will star in Paramount's remake of the Pang brothers' thriller "The Eye."
Going ahead with director Hideo Nakata, the "new version of "Eye" is envisioned as a psychological horror film about a girl who sees more than she bargained for when she regains her vision after a cornea transplant.
The original version, produced by Thailand-based Oxide and Danny Pang, grossed $10 million-plus worldwide.
Writers who have worked on the script include Sebastian Gutierrez, Ryne Douglas Pearson and Hillary Seitz.
Nakata directed the original Japanese "Ringu," which was the basis for DreamWorks 2002 horror pic "The Ring." Nakata also directed that film's Japanese sequel and "The Ring 2" for DreamWorks."

on Sep 30 2005 01:17 AM [b]Whay does Hollywood have a writers guild?[/b] If all the writers and directors are going to do is remake stuff, why bother having organized groups and all that. Just get a historian to look up a script in the archives and reshoot it. Oh, that's right, they need writers for the sequels to the over done franchise lines. Got it. (Reply to this) |

on Oct 01 2005 10:01 AM LOL @ the last post... Anyway, the original had a pair of chilling moments but that was it. It was entertaining but not very scary. I hope in the process of adaptation they add more scary stuff to a good premise for a good horror movie. And I hope Nakata redeems himself after The Ring II, though I blame the script rather than the direction for the crap it turned out to be. (Reply to this) |
