French filmmaker Eric Valette ("Malefique") is set to direct the English-language remake of Japanese supernatural horror hit "Chakushin ari" ("One Missed Call") for Warner Bros. Pictures reports Variety.
Screenplay was adapted from the original Japanese film by Andrew Klavan, and the story revolves around a college student whose friends begin receiving cell phone messages from the future in which they hear themselves being murdered. When she receives her own death message, the coed has three days to change her fate.
Lensing is set to begin this summer. In Japan, "One Missed Call" has become a lucrative franchise, with a third installment now in production.
