A few days before his "The Ring Two" opens, Hideo Nakata has signed on to helm The Eye for Paramount Pictures.

"Eye" centers on a blind woman who receives a cornea transplant. However, she gets more than she bargains for when she begins seeing ghosts and premonitions.

The film is an adaptation of the hit Hong Kong horror franchise; a third one is in the works.

Nakata directed the first two Japanese "Ringu" movies as well as the Japanese version of "Dark Water." He is attached to direct "Out" at New Line.
