The director of 2004's Premonition (not the Sandra Bullock film of the same name) is set to helm a new supernatural thriller called The Cursed Diary.
Screen Daily says the upcoming Japanese film was penned by Junya Kato, who penned Hideo Nakata's The Complex (soon to be released here in the U.S. under our Shock Till You Drop distribution label).
According to SD: "The film tells the story of Reiko, who lost her best friend, a popular French girl, in a mysterious death at their Tokyo high school. She’s living in Paris with actor Maxime when she hears of her parents’ brutal death in a strange plane crash. Returning to Tokyo to find out what happened, she discovers a hidden apartment with a strange diary. An evil entity has been unleashed."
Death Note's Erika Troda and French model Theo Gauchet will star.
