Variety reports that pop star Christina Milian ("Be Cool") and actress Kristen Bell ("Spartan") have signed on to appear in the Weinstein Company horror flick "Pulse." A remake of the Japanese horror movie "Kairo," "Pulse" begins shooting in Romania later this month with first-timer Jim Sonzero at the directorial helm.

Wes Craven ("Scream") and Ray Wright adapted the original film into "Americanized" form, which is described as such: "Plot surrounds a Web site powered by a sinister force. As more users go to the site, a door to terrifying evil is opened, and some college kids witness a string of bizarre deaths among their classmates."

Yup, recycled garbage no doubt. What's new?

First Last

Actually, when I first saw Fear.com I thought "man, what a rip off of Kairo". Kairo (Pulse) was first, and is much better.

Don't really care which came first...as long as my beloved Kristen Bell is in it, I am there...

end the Hollywood bastardization of fine foreign films! DO not support Hollywood remakes of films that are only a few years old (and perfect the first time!)

DO not support: Dark Water, The Departed (INfernal Affairs -Japanese title), Chaos, Pulse and others. This has got to stop. See the original films. Support international cinema and the exchange of art across cultures.
