The US remake of JIAN GUI (THE EYE) hasn’t even hit yet and already a remake of the sequel is being set up. While the original remake (try typing that without laughing) will have a completely separate plot from its source material, the sequel will apparently follow the premise of its predecessor.

Not the most exciting concept ever, but interesting enough I suppose. Gold Circle Films and Vertigo Entertainment are co-producing this puppy.
