Vertigo Entertainment ("The Ring", "The Grudge") will produce "The Echo," a remake of the acclaimed Philippies thriller "Sigaw" says The Hollywood Reporter.

The story revolves around a young ex-con who moves into an old apartment building, only to learn his neighbor is an abusive police officer who savagely beats his wife and daughter.

When the ex-con tries to intervene, he becomes trapped in a curse. Yam Laranas, who co-wrote and directed "Sigaw," will direct.

Eric Bernt will pen the script. A March 19th start date has been set.
