Shochiku, a major Japanese film producer and distributor, has announced its remake of Cube, a 1997 fantasy-thriller by Vincenzo Natali about six people who find themselves trapped in a maze-like cube and have to figure a way out, while evading fatal traps.

A Canadian production that premiered at Toronto, the original film became a cult hit in Japan following its September 1998 local release.
