Hideo Nakata, helmer of the original Japanese version of "The Ring" as well as the second English version "The Ring Two," will helm Zanuck Independent's supernatural thriller "Voice From the Stone."

Dean Zanuck and Stefano Gallini-Durante are to produce alongside Oliver Simon and Daniel Baur from K5 Film.

Production will start in the spring or summer, 2010.

Mark Wheaton wrote screenplay for "Voice," adapted from an Italian novel of the same name. The story tells of a female child psychologist who takes on the case of a boy who made a promise to his dying mom to remain silent until a time when her spirit returns.

Zanuck and K5 recently partnered on "Get Low." That film stars Robert Duvall, Sissy Spacek and Bill Murray and screens on Friday at the American Film Market.
