Kitamura is remaking Versus?!
July 25, 2008
Ryuhei Kitamura has announced that he wants to remake the one film that garnered him international attention, that planted him on the cult-genre radar, that made us sit down and watch it over and over again and then endure a lot of crap films that followed afterwards, that one film - Versus. Kitamura just announced that he’s working on an American version of Versus. He just finished a draft of the script and will do one more to polish it up. It’s going to be a few years before it’s made, as he’s doing an action film first, but as he stated, and I quote: “The US Versus will be insane!” Apparently he made this announcement at FantAsia. Holy hell! Do we really need another version of this? And what exactly does ‘polish it up’ mean? And can anything be more insane than the original? Zombies. Katanas. Assassins. Female Assassins. Female Assassins in leather. Guns. Lots of guns! What could Kitamura possibly do any different to the original to make it any more insane? Does Kitamura think he has Hollowood clout now because he made Midnight Meat Train a film that won’t get a wide release in the States? Versus does not need to be remade.

Supposedly he's been working on a sequel for a while now. If he wants to make sure the sequel meshes with the events of the first perfectly he can remake Versus and then the sequel will be more of a sequel to the rm than the original. I'll probably buy it either way...
