Proving that you can only hold onto a grudge for so long, Takashi Shimizu will step away from THE GRUDGE franchise to helm PARASYTE for New Line. The pic’s concept is as follows:

[A]lien spores land on Earth and start taking over human bodies. One young man manages to isolate his “parasyste” in his left arm. Left part human and part alien, the young man and “Lefty” — an alien arm with a will of its own — are the planet’s sole protection from the sinister invasion.

Sounds pretty damn cool. Flick will be condensed from a 12-part Manga comic, and Shimizu will supervise the script’s development as well.

It’s good to see he’ll get a chance to break out with a new property. Congrats to the man!
