The original pic centered on five medical students played by Kiefer Sutherland, Julia Roberts, Kevin Bacon, William Baldwin and Oliver Platt,- who subject themselves to near-death expierments in order to see if anything lies beyond. After being revived they soon find themselves struggling to determine fantasy from reality as physical manifestations of childhood sins revisit them.

Laurence Mark, who produced the original Flatliners, will produce the new version.
Oplev recently wrapped work directing the pilot for the CBS TV Series adaptation of Stephen King's "Under The Dome".
