A Bloody Disgusting favorite, Timo Tjahjanto (The Night Comes for Us, May the Devil Take You, V/H/S/94) has been hired to direct a remake of the South Korean zombie epic Train to Busan for New Line Cinema, we had learned earlier this year. The film, however, will not be titled Train to Busan. Instead, Deadline notes, it’s currently titled Last Train to New York.
According to the site, that “could be” the title, so that may end up changing.
Stay tuned for more as we learn it.
The new movie is being produced by Atomic Monster, which is headed by James Wan.
In the original, a zombie virus breaks out in South Korea, while passengers struggle to survive on the train from Seoul to Busan.
Train to Busan was directed by Sang-Ho Yeon and spawned a sequel and an animated prequel.
Atomic Monster’s Michael Clear, and Gaumont’s Nicolas Atlan and Terry Kalagian will also produce alongside Coin Operated’s Gary Dauberman, who is adapting the screenplay.
Judson Scott, Sidonie Dumas, Christophe Riandee and Johanna Byer are exec producing.
