Chinese director Zhang Yimou is set to helm a Hollywood remake of South Korean Vietnam War horror R-POINT.
Story of the Korean original is about a Korean platoon going deep into the jungle to search for some soldiers lost at a place haunted by an ancient curse.
The Korean film is distributed in UK and the US by Tartan Films. Neither Zhang Yimou nor anyone from his Beijing New Picture Films has publicly mentioned the project.
Zhang is now working on the post-production of Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles. He also has two projects set to launch. The first one is a period drama with Chow Yun-Fat and Gong Li and the second one is a martial-art film with Jackie Chan, and possibly Jet Li.
