- A remake of the controversial 2000 Japanese film with the same name.
- Announced back in 2006, development of the project was haulted in 2007 due to the unfortunate events at Virginia Tech and is now believed to be dead or in a state of limbo.
- Supposedly the film was intended to receive an R rating.
- It's said that an idea that was quickly brushed off was to have the students possibly part of some sort of juvenile detention system, which was going to be one way to "tone down" the storyline for us apparently squeemish American audiences.
- Produced by Roy Lee (The Ring, The Grudge) with Neal Moritz (I Am Legend).
- New Line Cinema owns the remake rights.

They probably will try to remake it.
But I don't see it being as gory or gruesome.
They will probably cast 20 - 30 yr olds to play the teenage kids to.

Not nearly as gory because of the MPAA. Also, you are spot on about the 20-30 year olds.
