Variety is reporting that Ed Burns has taken the role of a detective investigating a series of deaths surrounding a college girl, who will be played by Shannyn Sossamon (pictured). Her friends start getting phone calls from themselves three days in the future, screaming in agony. Three days later said friends are dead. Could it all be an elaborate prank, or is something more sinister at work?

I just hope the skills Valette showed with his first film, Malifique, help elevate the material past the Miike original, which, while entertaining, was about as cookie-cutter as they come.
