According to the website bloody-disgusting.com, which specializes in horror movie news, Sony has chosen the director of the Swedish version of Millennium to direct the Flatliners remake.

Niels Arden Oplev and Source Code screenwriter Ben Ripley will modernize this 1990s classic by Joel Schumacher about medical students wanting to find out what happens after death.

To get an answer, they come up with a dangerous experiment: provoking heart failure for a few moments and bringing the person back to life with electric shocks.

Kiefer Sutherland, Julia Roberts, Kevin Bacon, William Baldwin and Oliver Platt starred in the original movie.

Niels Arden Oplev will unveil his new film Dead Man Down, starring Noomi Rapace and Colin Farrell, on March 8 in the US and April 3 in France.

The Danish director will also make a foray into TV, directing Under the Dome, which is a series based on Stephen King's novel of the same name that CBS will launch on June 24.
