Originally announced a couple of years ago that the reboot was in development, more insight is being shared this year. Executives at Universal had reportedly been meeting with several directors for the project. While the rumours are officially TBC, director Leigh Whannell is currently the number 1 suspected to direct. Whannell most recently directed “Saw” and “The Invisible Man”.

According to Cinema Blend, Universal is extremely happy with the script. Once they pick a director, it won’t take long for production to begin.
