“Versus” Korean Theatrical Poster
Action filmmaker Ryuhei Kitamura (Versus, The Doorman, Downrange) will be directing Thrill Ride, an upcoming rollercoaster thriller from writers Chad Law and Christopher Jolley, who previously worked with Kitamura on Lights Out and Remember Be, respectively
The English-language film – spearheaded by Film Bridge International – will tell the story of a group of people, including two young women, who are trapped upside down on a roller coaster taken over by a mysterious saboteur threatening to drop them all one-by-one to their deaths (via Deadline).
The same source adds: “As a hardcore rollercoaster fan since I was young, I immediately fell in love with this script filled with suspense, action, crazy ups and downs, turns, loops, and corkscrews at maximum speed,” added Kitamura. “I can’t wait to get on a ride and bring life to the wildest rollercoaster imaginable.”
We’ll keep you updated on Thrill Ride as we learn more. Until then, we leave you with the Trailer for Kitamura’s 2000 cult classic, Versus, followed by (just for shits and giggles) the Trailer for the 1977 disaster flick, Rollercoaster:

One good movie: Midnight meat train.
The rest: crap.
