\"Lee<\/a>
Lee Byung-hun and Choi Min-sik in I Saw The Devil<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>

The I Saw The Devil<\/em> <\/strong>remake just got a lot more interesting.<\/p>\n

The Wrap<\/a> reports that writer-director partnership of Simon Barrett and Adam Wingard, the duo behind A Horrible Way To Die<\/em><\/strong>, You’re Next<\/em><\/strong><\/a> and The Guest<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, have signed on to write and direct the film, originally directed by Kim Jee-Woon.<\/p>\n

The original film is a brutal, powerful piece of work that stars Lee Byung-hun (A Bittersweet Life<\/em><\/strong>) as a special agent who hunts down a serial killer (Oldboy<\/em><\/strong>‘s Choi Min-sik) who murdered his pregnant fiancée. Every time he catches the murderer, he tortures him and lets him go… only to repeat the process all over again.<\/p>\n

The site states that Barrett is already at work on the script and that Wingard is meeting actors. Having seen The Guest<\/em><\/strong>, we’d suggest that Dan Stevens would be a great choice for the role of the vengeful agent…<\/p>\n

You can buy I Saw The Devil<\/em> on DVD for £5.96 at Amazon.co.uk.<\/a> Keep up with the latest <\/strong>
