Korean distributor Prime Entertainment has sold remake rights to the new suspense thriller Seven Days to Hollywood company Summit Entertainment.

The film, directed by Won Sin-yeon ("The Wig" ("Scary Hair"), "A Bloody Aria"), is about a successful defense attorney (played by well-known actress Kim Yoon-jin) whose daughter is kidnapped. In place of a ransom, the kidnappers demand that she prove the innocence of a man convicted of murdering a college student.

The film was released in Korea on November 14.

The remake, which is scheduled to start shooting in 2008, will be executive produced by Lee Seo-yeol and Sin Sang-han of Prime Entertainment, together with Vincent Maraval and Agnes Mentre of French sales company Wild Bunch. Worldwide rights to the remake excluding North America and Asia will also be handled by Wild Bunch.

Summit Entertainment's President of Production Erik Feig said, ""Seven Days" begins with one of the strongest premises we have seen and keeps you on the edge of the seat until one of the best twist endings. It is a non-stop thrill ride with a completely relatable story and hero and we cannot wait to make the Hollywood version".

The film's screenplay is credited to debut screenwriter Yoon Jae-goo and director Won Sin-yeon.
