We learned this weekend that Phil Wen ("Spin City"), along with the MERCY writing duo, Vince Di Meglio and Tim Rasmussen, have all put their writing skills to work on Dimension Films', Tomie, the planned remake of the popular Japanese horror film from 1999 that spawned numerous sequels. No word on if the film has progressed since, but Dimension hasn't been giving the "go" to much lately. In the film, following some trauma in her past that has since been repressed, a young woman is trying to recover her memories with the help of a psychiatrist. During her hypnosis sessions, she repeats the name "Tomie" but is unable to recall where she knows it from. Meanwhile, a police detective is investigating a string of brutal murders, where he also runs across the name "Tomie." How are two connected?

bangor09 3:39am, August 11, 2008 yaaaay, another remake! (sarcasm)

ultrazilla2000 5:50am, August 11, 2008 I've seen the first three Tomie movies, and I felt the first one was the weakest actually. I'll be interested in seeing how this turns out though, because in all honesty, it's a VERY Japanese movie in terms of style and storytelling, and may not translate very well into something Hollywood can muster up.

corinnemic 8:10am, August 11, 2008 Tomie was an interesting comics series, but a terrible string of movies. I'm interested in what an American version would be like.

CJ_01976 8:54am, August 11, 2008 "Tomie" is one of the weirdest movies I have ever seen.

Jacques 8:59am, August 11, 2008 Hmm. Sounds kinda cool, I guess.

Kabukiman 2:16pm, August 11, 2008 Here's hoping that it's less a 'remake' of the movies than just an adaptation of the comics which were much better than the movies.
