- I’ve been looking forward to seeing what Vadim Perelman has in store for us ever since I caught House of Sand and Fog back in 2003. With his sophomore feature now complete (In Bloom starring Uma Thurman and Evan Rachel Wood) and awaiting probably a world premiere at the Toronto film festival, the Ukrainian-born director is looking to fill up his future slate. While at Cannes I read that Perelman was looking to remake the Paprika Steen film Aftermath, but Variety reports that Beacon Pictures will finance a remake of the 2001 Korean film "Failan" and has paired Perelman to direct with the screenplay to be written by writer Jose Rivera from The Motorcycle Diaries fame. Shooting will begin in the fall. Beacon's Armyan Bernstein will produce with Landscape Pictures chief Bob Cooper. Pic will be exec produced by Vertigo's Roy Lee and Doug Davison, along with Beacon's Suzann Ellis and Charlie Lyons.

It follows a 17-year-old girl who has her dream fulfilled by landing a summer job as a backup dancer for a Britney Spears-like teen pop sensation. Scott Faye and Dick Rudolph are producing Dancer, with executive Suzann Ellis overseeing for Beacon. Damon, whose other credits include the Endless Love remake Age of Consent at Universal Pictures, is one of the producers on the WB Network's The Surreal Life. He's repped by Paradigm, Handprint Entertainment and attorney Warren Dern.
