Sony’s remake of Flatliners is moving forward. The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo’s Niels Arden Oplev is in the director’s chair for the supernatural-thriller.
We reported earlier this month that Kiefer Sutherland , star of the original film, has committed to join the remake’s cast that also includes The Vampire Diaries star Nina Dobrev, Ellen Page,Diego Luna, Kiersey Clemens and James Norton.
Flatliners, produced by Michael Douglas and Laurence Mark, will open in theaters on August 18th of next year.
Sutherland, Kevin Bacon, Julia Roberts, William Baldwin and Oliver Platt starred in Joel Schumacher’s 1990 supernatural thriller about a group of medical students who put their training to the test. Each one of the friends take their turn dying, briefly, to see what is on the other side, only to have their pasts come back to haunt them when they are resuscitated.
