Gold Circle nails 'Dead'

Shingle to redo Russian horror pic

Gold Circle Films has optioned English-language remake rights to Russian horror pic "Dead Daughters," with scribe Jared Rivet on board to adapt.

Directed by Pavel Ruminov, original film centered on three girls who are murdered by their mother. To seek vengeance for their untimely deaths, their ghosts randomly pick people to watch. If that person does something wrong or acts out of line, the girls hold a merciless trial.

Gold Circle topper Paul Brooks will produce the redo with shingle's Scott Niemeyer and Norm Waitt taking executive producer credit. Gold Circle's Zak Kadison, who negotiated his company's deal with Central Partnership's Armen Dishdishyan, will co-produce.

Rivet previously penned "Killers of the Dead" which is being produced by Brian Witten and will be directed by J.C. Barros.
