Bruce Joel Rubin to write 'Resurrection' remake

Bruce Joel Rubin, who won an Oscar for his "Ghost" script, is set to write the remake of Akihiko Shiota's recent Japanese hit fantasy film "Yomigaeri" (Resurrection) for DreamWorks.

The original film focused on a town in which people who've been dead for a long time suddenly come back to life and return to their loved ones and normal lives. No, no zombie action in this one (although you never know what Hollywood will be ending up doing to the idea).

Rubin most recently wrote the screenplay for "The Time Traveler's Wife," and he also worked on "The Last Mimzy." His credits also include "Deep Impact" and "Stuart Little 2."
