Romero Directing Timecrimes Remake?

Twitch is reporting that George Romero has been in attendance at the Neuchatel International Fantastic Film Festival telling reporters he is busy preparing the remake of Nacho Vigalondo’s Timecrimes. However when they tried to confirm this with people involved in the project they claim no one is attached yet.

Seems a little fishy if you ask me. I think either Romero isn't saying anything or the people involved in the project are trying to be hush hush about the whole project. Either way I would love to see Romero take on this film. I was very impressed (my review) with the original and I think Romero could do a great job on the remake. As soon as we hear more we will fill you in.
