The original manga and feature film revolve around Juzo Murasaki, a young man who was bullied mercilessly as a schoolboy. Encountering his childhood nemesis as an adult causes Murasaki to develop a murderous second personality. Wong states of his remake plans, &#8220;I think we have found a very unique way to frame the story and bring a heroic twist to it that is fresh and surprising and will take audiences on a very thrilling journey.&#8221; Remake producer Distant Horizon says, &#8220;Our hope is that &#8216;The Neighbor Number 13&#8217; will be a commercial success like &#8216;Final Destination&#8217; was and also generate the same kind of franchise with James Wong at the helm.&#8221; The film will go into production later this year for a fall 2011 release.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/hr\/content_display\/asia\/news\/e3if94240ea8fb579214b2ede1f46b741aa\" target=\"_blank\">The Hollywood Reporter<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Final Destination franchise creator and Dragonball: Evolution director James Wong has signed on to write and direct a remake of Yasuo Inoue&#8217;s 2005 film Neighbour No. Thirteen (Rinjin 13-gou), which was based on Santa Inoue&#8217;s 1994 psychological horror manga.
