Remake
The film was remade under the direction of Rupert Wainwright with a screenplay by Cooper Layne and starring Tom Welling and Maggie Grace.

Green-lit by Revolution Studios with just eighteen pages of script written, the film was almost universally panned for its poor script and acting. As of January 2006, the film has a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 5%.
