Lionsgate studios hopes to produce the film next winter under the direction of David Moreau and Xavier Palud.
The Eye follows the story of a woman who receives a cornea transplant. When she begins to see images through her eyes, she decides to learn more about the cornea’s previous owner.
The film was originally produced in Hong Kong in 2002 by Oxide Pang. This is not the first time that Hollywood has attempted to do this movie. In 2002, actress Renee Zellweger refused the role, and producers dropped the project.
