Dimension Films has acquired the project, which will be, in fact, a remake of 13: Game of Death – a Thai film Dimension previously released on DVD under its Dimension Extreme label.
IM Global will finance and produce the film alongside Brian Kavanaugh-Jones of Automatik and Kiki Miyake.
Stamm and his writing partner David Birke adapted the script from the original film which follows a bright but meek social services coordinator whos drowning in debt and desperate as he’s about to marry the love of his life.
He receives a mysterious phone call informing him that hes on a hidden camera game show where he must execute 13 tasks to receive a cash prize of over $6,000,000. He accepts the challenge, but even with thousands of dollars suddenly appearing in his bank account, he realizes hes in over his head. Trapped into the horrors manipulated by unseen spectators, his need to complete the game escalates as the tasks grow more extreme, to a devastating point of no return.
I was blown away by Daniel Stamms direction in The Last Exorcism and have wanted to work with him ever since, said Bob Weinstein, co-chairman of The Weinstein Company. We look forward to bringing his suspenseful Angry Little God to American audiences.
