What would we do without Roy Lee and his Vertigo Entertainment? Those guys are working day and night to bring us more horror movies than we can handle, and although not all will be good, hopefully something will come along as good at The Ring. Today Nicole Kidman - who will be in Warner Bros. Invasion this month - will topline a remake to the Colombian horror film Al final del espectro for Universal Pictures. The film has also been called Espectro, which could be the title of the remake. Read on for the skinny.
Universal Pictures has acquired remake rights to the Colombian horror film "Al final del espectro," and will develop it as a starring and producing vehicle for Nicole Kidman. Juan Felipe Orozco, who helmed the original, is attached to direct the remake. Fernley Phillips ("The Number 23") is writing the script, according to Variety.
Kidman will produce through her Blossom Films banner, teamed with Vertigo Entertainment partners Roy Lee and Doug Davison and Rick Schwartz. Latter was a co-producer of "The Departed" and worked with Kidman as exec producer of "The Others" and "Birthday Girl."
Plan is for Kidman to play a woman who, after a tragedy, is encouraged by her father to take refuge in a fancy apartment building. She becomes a shut-in, and begins to see a ghost.
Vertigo's Lee and Davison exec produced "The Invasion," as well as "The Eye" remake that stars Jessica Alba for Lionsgate. They're producing "A Tale of Two Sisters" at DreamWorks and are prepping the Screen Gems remake of the unreleased Spanish language horror film "Rec."
