It won't be as good as the original
From Darkhorizons, "French filmmaker Eric Valette ("Malefique") is set to direct the English-language remake of Japanese supernatural horror hit "Chakushin ari" ("One Missed Call") for Warner Bros. Pictures reports Variety.
Screenplay was adapted from the original Japanese film by Andrew Klavan, and the story revolves around a college student whose friends begin receiving cell phone messages from the future in which they hear themselves being murdered. When she receives her own death message, the coed has three days to change her fate.
Lensing is set to begin this summer. In Japan, "One Missed Call" has become a lucrative franchise, with a third installment now in production."

It's amusing that they're doing a remake of a movie that was a deliberate distillation of current J-horror trends.
Next they should do a video game, a remake of the video game, a movie based on the remake, and then a remake of that.
It's true. One Missed Call was Miike's homage to recent j-horror trends. It would be like making a spoof of Scary Movie or Airplane. I always hated it when Mad Magazine spoofed comedies.
I love how tiny her phone seems in that picture. She looks like she saw something scary in a cherry bonbon.
