Timo Tjahjanto (“The Night Comes for Us,” “Headshot”) is in negotiations to direct the remake of acclaimed South Korean blockbuster hit “Train to Busan” at New Line.
Yeon Sang-ho’s original is considered the biggest Korean film of all time and follows a workaholic businessman and father who accompanies his doe-eyed daughter on the titular train ride to see her mother at the very same time that a malevolent virus breaks out, turning the populace into ravenous, milk-eyed ghouls.
When one of those blood-sucking zombies gets on the train, Hell is unleashed and the father must team up with a gaggle of survivors to fight the dead and protect his child.
Gary Dauberman is adapting the screenplay while James Wan, Michael Clear, Nicolas Atlan and Terry Kalagian are producing.
