It is reported that the Dublin-based Element Pictures and Poor Things director Yorgos Lanthimos are to team up again for a remake of the South Korean fantasy comedy Save the Green Planet.
US entertainment trade publication Variety, which first reported the story, says filming is due to begin in the UK and New York this summer with Element Pictures' Irish duo of Ed Guiney and Andrew Lowe as producers.
It describes the remake of the 2003 Jang Joon-hwan film as "an eccentric black comedy involving a disillusioned young man who captures and tortures a businessman whom he believes to be part of an alien invasion".
Element Pictures and Lanthimos have previously worked together on The Lobster, The Killing of a Sacred Deer, The Favourite, Poor Things and the upcoming Kinds of Kindness.
Kinds of Kindness stars Poor Things' Emma Stone, Willem Dafoe and Margaret Qualley alongside Joe Alwyn. Irish cinematographer Robbie Ryan, Oscar-nominated for Poor Things, also worked on Kinds of Kindness.
Poor Things won five BAFTAs at the weekend in London and is nominated for 11 Oscars at next month's Academy Awards, which take place in Los Angeles on Sunday 10 March.
