Lionsgate Remaking Cube as Cubed

Vincenzo Natali’s feature debut, the cult sci-fi horror mind bender Cube is getting the remake treatment at Lionsgate.

Writer Jon Spaihts (the original Prometheus draft, the upcoming PassengersDoctor Strange and The Mummy) is producing alongside Roy Lee, while up-and-coming filmmaker Saman Kesh (Controller) will direct. THR reports the reimagining will “use the original setup of seven strangers trapped in a giant cube-like structure. The remake, titled Cubed, is described as a sci-fi survival thriller about artificial intelligence, humanity and the birth of a new ‘digital’ race. Philip Gawthorne is writing the script. 

The original Cube hit in 1998 and eventually spawned two follow-ups, Cube 2: Hypercube and Cube Zero. Natali has since gone on to helm acclaimed films like Cypher and Splice. He most recently directed episodes of NBC’s Hannibal
