Japanese filmmaker Hideo Nakata is set to helm “Chatroom,” a psychological thriller Variety says follows teenagers who encourage each other's destructive behavior.

According to the trade, Enda Walsh wrote the script based on his own stage play. Walsh previous writing credits include “Disco Pigs” and Steve McQueen’s drama “Hunger.”

As for Nakata, he’s the man who directed the original “Ringu” and “Ringu 2,” as well as Hollywood’s 2005 remake “The Ring Two.”

IMDb has currently listed him as helmer for “The Ring Three,” but I don’t think we need another installment in the series. “Two” was not that bad, but it obviously lacked the creepiness and suspense of the first “Ring” remake.
