New Line Cinema has hired director Takashi Shimizu to direct PARASYTE. Shimizu most recently directed THE GRUDGE, the English remake of his film JU-ON.
Shimizu will supervise the script's development. It is based on a 12-part Managa comicbook series by Hitosi Iwaaki. The script was written by Phil Hay and Matt Manfredi, and rewritten by Matt Drake.
The sci-fi story centers on alien spores which land on Earth and start taking over human bodies. One young man manages to isolate his "parasyste" in his left arm. Left part human and part alien, the young man and "Lefty" -- an alien arm with a will of its own -- are the planet's sole protection from the sinister invasion.
