Eric Red penned the original The Hitcher and was also credited on the remake, but he is set and ready to write and direct his own new film called 100 Feet and Arrow in the Head got the scoop saying that Famke Janssen is set to star in the lead role.
Red gave the site this quote:
We’ve been fortunate to cast Famke Janssen (“X-MEN,” “GOLDENEYE”) in the role of Marnie. Famke is a beautiful actress of great presence and intelligence, completely dedicated to the realism of character and performance.
The site also offers the following synopsis:
A young woman, Marnie Watson, is granted early release from her prison sentence for manslaughter (killing her husband – a violent NYC cop – in self defense) on condition she wear an electronic ankle bracelet and remain within her home, effectively under house arrest, for the remainder of her sentence. Her late husband’s partner keeps tabs on her from a patrol car parked across the street, hoping she’ll violate probation and he can send her back to prison. But the 100-foot radius her ankle bracelet allows isn’t the worst of her problems. Her dead husband –now a malevolent ghost–is still in the house, where he died — intent on savage revenge.
