The Host
11/19/08 - Universal Pictures and Gore Verbinski will remake the 2006 Bong Joon-ho-directed Korean creature feature The Host, with director Fredrik Bond making his feature helming debut and Mark Poirier writing the script, Variety reported.  The story follows a town terrorized by a giant mutant squidlike creature hatched by toxins that flow into a nearby river from a military base. When the creature grabs a little girl, her dysfunctional family must band together to rescue her.  Verbinski will produce with Vertigo's Roy Lee and Doug Davison, along with Paul Brooks.
