Nakata previously helmed Ringu and The Ring Two. For The Suicide Forest, he’s tackling a graphic novel by IDW Publishing.
From IDW’s site: The legend of the Aokigahara forest (which lies just outside of Tokyo) says that those who have committed suicide in the massive wilderness are cursed to have their souls trapped within its very roots. Unfortunately for Alan, his girlfriend, Masami, committed her suicide there and shes now on a vengeful mission to ruin his life.
IDW will produce with Roy Lee.
