The Weinstein Co has acquired remake rights and all North American rights to 13 (not to be confused with the recently announced 13 Tzameti remake, which is also titled 13), a psychological thriller from Thailand's Sahamongkolfilm, the creative team behind "Ong-Bak," according to Variety. The pic is directed by sophomore helmer Chookiat Sakveerakul (Evil), and stars Krissada Sukosol and Sarunyoo Wongkrachang. The story involves a naive man dragged into a gruesome reality show with an audience he cannot see. Winning takes guts and questionable morals as one must perform acts straight out of "Fear Factor" or Abu Ghraib. Michelle Krumm, exec veep of acquisitions for TWC, said the "13" storyline "has tremendous potential to be remade for audiences around the world."
