Fruit Chan’s ‘Don’t Look Up’ Trailer

Director Fruit Chan (Dumplings in Three … Extremes) is remaking Hideo Nakata’s 1996 horror pic, Joyû-rei. You’re probably familiar with Nakata from Ringu, which was redone as The Ring.

From the press release:

“Set in and around an abandoned film studio from another era, “Don’t Look Up” charts the unravelling sanity of a director and his crew when spirits from that era invade the film stock of the contemporary production and, in a few stark frames, open a horrifying window on a terrible curse from the past.

Don’t Look Up stars Henry Thomas, Kevin Corrigan, Lothaire Bluteau, Carmen Chaplin, and Reshad Strik. Eli Roth makes a cameo appearance.

There are some cool on the set photos here. What do you think? Is this just another Japanese horror remake?
