Title: Mara Forster in "Die Bad"

Director Marc Forster arrives for the world premiere of the latest James Bond movie 'Quantum of Solace'

The German-Swiss filmmaker, who previously shot specialized fare like "Stranger than Fiction" and "Finding Neverland," has been attached to "Die Bad," a remake of a Korean action movie.

The original film, released in 2000, centers on a set of interlocking stories featuring a gangster and gang violence in South Korea. The Universal Pictures remake will be set in the United States.

"Solace," which has already broken UK box office records ahead of its November 14 bow in North America, has been acknowledged by many critics as perhaps the most action-heavy James Bond movie in the long-running franchise.
