The Hollywood Reporter indicates Dimension Films has acquired the remake rights to the Korean horror film "Ryeong" (The Ghost) from Showbox. Vertigo Entertainment will produce.
"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 Asian remakes, especially horror remakes. The company executive produced DreamWorks' "The Ring" and its sequel, it has the remake of "The Grudge," and "Dark Water," which just wrapped.
Thanks to 'Boo!'
