Oplev Circles "Flatliners" Remake

"Dead Man Down" and the original Swedish "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" director Niels Arden Oplev is attached to helm the contemporary remake of Joel Schumacher’s 1990 afterlife film "Flatliners" in development says Bloody Disgusting.


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.

Ben Ripley ("Source Code") wrote the new screenplay from Peter Filardi's work

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".
