Iza Calzado Starring in The Echo Remake

Iza Calzado  has been cast a the lead role in the remake to Sigaw AKA The Echo. The interesting part of this news is she played the lead in the original. No doubt in a smart move to try and calm the remake haters, a unique and what I think interesting move was made in casting her.

Vertigo Entertainment has bought the rights to Sigaw whose English translation is The Echo. They have also managed to get Yam Laranas to jump on board and direct the film as well. Recently that hasn't helped some films but hopefully Laranas can pull it off.

Eric Bernt will adapt the script from the story of a young ex-con who moves into an old apartment building, only to learn his neighbor is an abusive police officer who savagely beats his wife and daughter. When the ex-con tries to intervene, he becomes trapped in a curse. Veritgo is putting the movie on the fast track and hope to get things moving by setting a March 19th start date.
