Kevin Tancharoen (pictured on the far right), who just directed the "Fame" remake for MGM, is set to helm Universal Pictures' upcoming sci-fi action flick "Arcana," which Brett Ratner will produce.

John Ridley ("Red Tails") wrote the script, and as much as I would love to give you more information about the project, that's all I know about it at this point. Plot details are being kept under wraps. But here's what Variety says about it:

"...it's described as a live-action graphic novel influenced by 'Blade Runner' that includes martial arts and uses production methods similar to Zack Snyder's '300.'"

Before becoming a director, Tancharoen worked as a dance choreographer, which obviously makes him a qualified person to orchestrate all the dancing in "Fame," which opens Sept. 25, 2009.
