Chris Columbus will Remake HELLO GHOST

Director Christopher Columbus (Harry Potter 1 & 2, Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief) is set to direct a remake of the Korean film Hello Ghost. The last few films that Columbus has made have been pretty bad, and I don't really have confidence in him as a director these days. 

Here's the synopsis of the original film:

A man attempts suicide by jumping off a bridge into a river. He fails, but the end result is that he starts seeing ghosts. He then goes to the hospital and gets an examination. Is he going crazy? He meets a nurse at the hospital and quickly falls in love. But those pesky ghosts still haunt him everywhere he goes. He decides to help the ghosts fulfill their unrealized dreams to get them to leave him alone once and for all.

Columbus, who is a fan of Korean cinema had this to say about the film in a statement,

After watching Hello Ghost I was immediately struck by the film's ability to mix comedy, drama and complex emotional themes. Its strong universal storyline translates to any culture, and I’m looking forward to bringing a version of this wonderful story to the English-speaking audience.
