Kim Jee-woon's suspense thriller I Saw the Devil 악마를 보았다 (2010) is set for an English-language remake.
According to the video blog by producer Adi Shankar, writer Simon Barrett and director Adam Wingard have signed on to develop the remake. The writer-director pair has worked together on five films, including home invasion horror You're Next (2011) and forthcoming thriller The Guest.
In addition to Shankar, the film will be co-produced by Snoot Entertainment, who also produced The Guest.
The original I Saw the Devil starred Lee Byeong-heon as an intelligence service agent who takes revenge on his fiancé's killer, played by Choi Min-shik, by hunting him down and torturing him.
Two years ago, Shankar was briefly attached to Park Chan-wook's English-language thriller Corsica 77, a crime drama set in the 1930s.
