Screen Gems has set “The Expendables 3″ helmer Patrick Hughes to direct a remake of the Gareth Evans cult actioner “The Raid.”

In the original, an elite Indonesian S.W.A.T. team raids a building where a gangster and his thugs are embedded and chaos ensues. The remake will have a similar storyline.

Brad Ingelsby penned the script. XYZ Films is producing the pic.

Screen Gems is hoping the buzz behind the original and its sequel, which will bow in the states on March 28, will result in fans coming back for the remake.

While the film may not have the same martial art fighting styles included in this film, Hughes’ background with heavy action should should satisfy both fans of the originals and auds not familiar with the original films.

Hughes (pictured) is currently in post on Lionsgate’s “The Expendables 3.” He is repped by WME, Brillstein Entertainment and Gang, Tyre, Ramer & Brown.

[BasedPrime]

And we already have Dredd

Damn it used to be mostly UK and Japanese stuff. Now they stealing Indonesian classics too. A country of 315 million and can't find no original writers?

Came in just to say this has already been remade with the long haired hippy in Lord of the Rings.

Wasn't Gareth Evans supposed to do the US remake? I knew it was going to get a remake but I read somewhere that it was supposed to be him that would direct it...

But they got some random guy instead and the only thing I know about him is that he's directing the third movie to a somewhat shytty series? There's no hope for this remake.

Hopefully it flops like Oldboy.

I want every American remake of a foreign flick to flop like CP3
