Eric Red (the original "The Hitcher") has signed on to write and direct thriller "100 Feet" with Grand Illusions Entertainment reports Variety.

The story centers on a woman who murders her abusive husband and is then haunted by his ghost. Famke Janssen ("X-Men") is attached to star with Bobby Cannavale.

The project marks Red's first major film work since an incident in 2000 when his car crashed into a pool hall on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles and killed two people.
