And a director’s been found
The U.S. saw the Thai film 13: Game of Death hit DVD in 2008. And around that time, there was talk of an American remake.
I thought it was dead.
Deadline says it is, indeed, alive and well and Daniel Stamm of The Last Exorcism is directing. He is writing the script with David Burke.
In the original film, a down-on-his luck salesman has lost his job, his car and his girlfriend. When a mysterious cell phone caller offers him $100 million to play a “game show” featuring 13 secret challenges, he is in. The catch? The tests grow increasingly intense and morally questionable, but if he quits he loses everything.
Daniel Stamm is a busy boy, however, and I have no clue where this fits on his schedule. He’s supposed to remake Martyrs and direct Reincarnate for M. Night Shyamalan.
