Well, this flick is PG-13, so you can kiss that dream goodbye. If I remember correctly, the original was a TV movie in Japan, and was then remade by the same director with a full budget into a full fledged theatrical release. Unfortunately, that release didn't do so well, so I'm a little worried. The same director is trying again, but now not only does he have to figure out what went wrong with the other remake, but now he has to "hip it up" for the American audience (hence hottie, but crap actress, Sara Michelle Gellar). And I'm sure he was contractually obligated to the studios to make a PG-13 flick, so it can be sold to the tasteless kiddies and make more money, which usually means any trace of his original artisitic style has been completely raped from the film. At least the original should be easier to find in the States after this version is released.
