Fruit Chan to Helm English Remake 'Don't Look Up'

Hong Kong-based helmer Fruit Chan is to direct an English-language remake of Japanese horror Don't Look Up (Joyuu-rei), according to Variety. The pic is to be produced by South Africa's Distant Horizon group in association with Japan's Action 5. The story features a film production in Transylvania which is tainted by an old piece of celluloid containing images of a woman's murder. Distant Horizon topper Anant Singh said that "Don't Look Up," will shoot at the end of the year, with locations likely taking in studios in Romania and South Africa. "I loved the original film by Hideo Nakata," Chan told Variety. "And I was happy to take on the remake. For too long I've been labeled as an art-house director. I'm a director." Pic will be the first in English-language for Chan, who previously directed "Made in Hong Kong" and most recently helmed the creepy "Dumplings."
