| New Line Cinema has hired Takashi Shimizu (Ju-On, The Grudge) to direct and supervise the script of the film Parasyte. Parasyte is based on a comic book series by Hitosi Iwaaki. In the science-fiction film, alien spores land on earth and start taking over human bodies. A young man finds a way to isolate his parasite in his left arm, and therefore becomes half human, half alien. He then becomes the sole protector of the earth. Shimizu will direct The Grudge 2 before beginning work on Parasyte. |
