Yes, Hideo Nakata Is A Fool To Himself : Directing USA Remake Of 'The Eye'.

Not even much of a film, the original. Largely seems to be seen as a "beginners" luck film - the Pang Brothers 'The Eye' was reasonable in places, slightly interesting in others, mediocre in most. And now, Nakata has apparently signed to do the American remake. Can't decide: poor decision or wise money-making venture so he can get out quick, go back to Japan and do something decent again. It has been about seven years since the original Ring and he still doesn't seem able to pick up a decent project off the back of it... come of Hideo Nakata, you're better than remakes!

This story is all over the place, so no particular source for it...
