Alright, this is an interesting combination of talent. Hideo Nakata has directed some very good J-Horror films. He has a good eye. And you don't win the Cannes Camera d'Or by submitting your diary. So including the writing talents of scribe Enda Walsh adds more credibility to the project.

Hideo Nakata, the Japanese helmer of "The Ring Two," "Ringu" and "Dark Water," will direct "Chatroom," a psychological thriller about teenagers who encourage each other's destructive behavior. Pic, being sold by new sales company WestEnd Films, will be Nakata's first original helming effort in English. "Chatroom" was written by Enda Walsh as an adaptation of his own stage play. The Irish playwright won the Cannes Camera d'Or for first film in 2001 with his "Disco Pigs" and recently penned Steve McQueen's "Hunger". "Nakata has come up with something very visual, very conceptual, and situated somewhere between 'Disturbia' and 'Cube,' " said WestEnd founder Eve Schoukroun.

Now, if their new film Chatroom lives up to the heralding of the sales company's founder, well, at least the strong>Cube part, I wouldn't go around touting that your film can be compared to the film Disturbia. That film is under hot water as it is and the studio is being sued because the lawsuit claims it ripped off another far superior suspense film. Poor choice.

Lensing will begin in the spring in the U.K.
