9/12/11 - IM Global has set Daniel Stamm to direct the English-language remake of Thai horror-thriller 13: Game of Death, according to The Hollywood Reporter.  Stamm is currently working with David Birke to adapt the screenplay.  Game of Death is a macarbre satire of media culture that follows a financially strapped salesman who receives an anonymous phone call informing him he's on a hidden camera game show, and that if he complete 13 tasks, he will receive a multi-million cash prize.  But, entrapped within the horrors manipulated by unseen spectators, the protagonist's need to complete the game escalates as the tasks grow more extreme, to a devastating point of no return.  Stuart Ford and Brian Kavanaugh-Jones will produce alongside Kiki Miyake.
