The components are being combined for the English language remake that will be set in New York.

In March, Ingelsby lived with his parents in the suburbs outside Philadelphia, selling employee medical insurance plans for his father. An AFI grad, Ingelsby wrote scripts at night, and got one to an agent and manager. The script The Low Dweller sold for 650,000 dollars against 1.1 million dollar, as Relativity Media outbid four studios.
