Camilla Belle has been cast as the lead in Screen Gems' remake of "When a Stranger Calls," to be directed by Simon West. Shooting is scheduled for mid-July reports Variety.
Jake Wade Wall penned the remake of the 1979 Columbia Pictures cult horror pic, which starred Carol Kane as a high school student traumatized while babysitting by a caller who repeatedly asks, "Have you checked the children lately?" After notifying the police, she is told that the calls are coming from inside the house.
Belle will star in the role played by Kane. Belle stars opposite Daniel Day-Lewis in IFC's "The Ballad of Jack and Rose." She also stars in Ari Posin's "The Chumscrubber," with Glenn Close and Ralph Fiennes, which premiered at Sundance this year. She also just wrapped "The Quiet," an indie also starring Elisha Cuthbert and Edie Falco.
Thanks to 'Ring Me'.
