THR reports that Los Angeles-based Black Box Management and Seoul-based BH Entertainment are working together to produce an English-language remake of the successful South Korean found footage horror film GONJIAM: HAUNTED ASYLUM, which made over $20 million dollars on a $2 million budget. Here's the official synopsis:
an online reality show that recruits a handful of people to explore the abandoned Gonjiam Psychiatric Hospital.
And here's what Charles Pak, head of international development at BH Entertainment, had to say about the project:
As Parasite has proven, the appetite for Korean content has never been higher. The partnership will further the exchange and development of Korean and U.S. adaptations, remakes and originals for both Korean and U.S. markets
Meanwhile, you can currently stream GONJIAM: HAUNTED ASYLUM on Amazon Prime (WATCH IT NOW!).
