An update on the project has been floating around recently--according to a recent French interview Director Christophe Gans (Silent Hill) is currently developing this movie, adding: "The film will take place in Japan. I especially don’t want to uproot the game from its Japanese haunted house setting." You can treat this as "just talk" or a rumor at the moment, at least until something more official is released.

It's likely that this project had many hiccups along the way, but the final nail in the coffin was the DreamWorks/Paramount split in 2008, leaving a lot of potential projects behind in a development hell or limbo stage.
The last update on the project was back in 2005, when one of the producers was quoted saying that the script is done and a director was "in talks", with plans to start filming later that year.
Back in 2003 DreamWorks confirmed that the film was on the "fast-track", with the script being finalized and a director being named shortly, and casting beginning soon after. This of course never happened.
Staying true to the game, the film was going to be taken place in Japan.
Colubia Pictures and Senator International partnered for this film.
Once said to be an intended horror franchise.
DreamWorks hired writers Robert Fyvolent and Mark R. Brinker (duo behind 2008's Untraceable) adapt the game into film.
Originally announced somewhere between 2001 and 2003.
Based on the hit video game with the same name.
